The article presents practical aspects for the developed concept of the cartographic method of investigation on the basis of the cartographic information phenomenon and the opportunities of its transformation. The essence of information procedures, constructs and mechanisms was revealed. The experiments’ results on the psychology of visual color perception and shape for the optimal constructing cartographic symbols were presented. An example of creating a vector data warehouse was proposed; the opportunities of mapping based on it, and an example of interactive modeling cartographic information by the means of queries were disclosed. An example of creating an international geoportal, including a GIS for the management of a transboundary territory and a cartographic service on an open platform, was described. The essence of the cartographic research method as a social and technical process controlled by technological, social and historical mechanisms was established. The social and historical mechanism of the cartographic research method was presented in the form of continuous scientific and practical activities of the normative social system for the creation and use of cartographic information. The technological mechanism as a set of automated procedures and operations of transforming the space and time reality into a cartographic model was presented.
