symbolization
[symbology] The process of devising a set of marks of appropriate size, color, shape, and pattern, and assigning them to map features to convey their characteristics at a given map scale.
Feature: Thematic resymbolization
Space information can be used to color fill or cross-hatch spaces based on interactive queries. Complex data is easily reviewed without scanning pages of reports.
Symbolization
As with scale, symbolization is a representation on paper. A problem with symbolization is that it changes between maps of different scales. On a small-scale map, cities may be point data represented by dots.
Data Symbolization
Once geographic features and data have been selected, generalized and classified for the map, it is necessary to choose the appropriate graphic representation or symbols for the information.

Types of maps
in practice we normally think of two types of map: ...

When a layer is added to a data frame, ArcMap assigns a single random color to all features of that layer. Usually, you will want to alter the symbolization of layers. This is done by altering the legend.
In this approach the georelational model is pulled round by defining the standardized geographic contents, database tables of the workspaces and layers and even the symbolization of each object type inside the layers.
