Description
For generations, the map has been central to how societies function all over the world. Cybercartography is a new paradigm for maps and
mapping in the information era. Defined as ?the organization, presentation, analysis and communication of spatially referenced information
on a wide variety of topics of interest to society,? cybercartography is presented in an interactive, dynamic, multisensory format with
the use of multimedia and multimodal interfaces.
Cybercartography: Theory and Practice examines the major elements
of cybercartography and emphasizes the importance of interaction between theory and practice in developing a paradigm which moves beyond
the concept of Geographic Information Systems and Geographical Information Science. It argues for the centrality of the map as part of
an integrated information, communication, and analytical package.
This volume is a result of a multidisciplinary team effort and has
benefited from the input of partners from government, industry and other organizations. The international team reports on major original
cybercartographic research and practice from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including the humanities, social sciences including
human factors psychology, cybernetics, English literature, cultural mediation, cartography, and geography. This new synthesis has intrinsic
value for industries, the general public, and the relationships between mapping and the development of user-centered multimedia interfaces.
