Description
This book examines a new trend affecting cartography and geographic information science. Presenting the work of over 30 authors from 16
different countries, the book provides an overview of current research in the new area of Internet Cartography. Chapters deal with the
growth of this form of map distribution, uses in education, privacy issues, and technical aspects from the point of view of the map provider
- including Internet protocols such as XML and SVG.
Many see the Internet as a revolution for cartography. Previously tied to the
medium of paper and expensive large-format color print technology, maps had a limited distribution and use. The Internet made it possible
to not only distribute maps to a much larger audience but also to incorporate interaction and animation in the display. Maps have also
become timelier with some maps of traffic and weather being updated every few minutes. In addition, it is now possible to access maps
from servers throughout the world. Finally, the Internet has made historic maps available for viewing to the public that were previously
only available in map libraries with limited access.
Audience
Geoscientists, cartographers
