// Web Cartography // THE WORLD WIDE WEB HAS RAPIDLY BECOME A WIDESPREAD MEANS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF GEOSPATIAL DATA. IT HAS EARNED THIS POPULARITY SINCE IT IS VIRTUALLY PLATFORM INDEPENDENT, CAN REACH MANY USERS AT MINIMAL COST, AND IS EASY TO UPDATE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE WEB MEETS THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR CUSTOMISED GEOSPATIAL DATA PRODUCTS. HOWEVER, THE VISUAL DISSEMINA TION OF SPATIAL DATA ON THE WEB CREATES SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MAP DESIGN, AND INTRODUCES NEW CAPABILITIES AND PITFALLS FOR INTERACTIVE MAP APPLICATIONS. // HTTP://KARTOWEB.ITC.NL // /WEBCARTOGRAPHY/WEBBOOK // The website // accompanies the book. It provides a dynamic environment for demonstrating many of the principle set out in the text and includes access to ar basic course on Web Cartography. The bodx and website provide a text for students md professionals in the fields of cartography and GIS. The series of chapters are Written by different people but worked together into // a single text. // Web maps are first put into a broad context, and specific characteristics of these maps are then examined from a user perspective. The various functions of maps on the Web are discussed, in the context of the technical background and fundamental user questions such as what can be done with existing data. Web cartography also provides insight into the particularities of multi-dimensional web maps. Typical characteristics are explained clearly from the perspectives of static viewing and dynamic viewing. For each

category, design considerations, based on cartographic principles, are discussed. Topics addressed include map contents, map physics, and the map environment. Technical terms are explained where necessary. For several time-sensitive topics such as traffic, weather and tourism, the status and future of web maps are discussed. Atlases and national mapping agencies are also covered. // professor and lecturer, respectively, in the Division of Geoinformatics( Cartography and Visualisation at ITC, Enscbfede, The Netherlands // CARTOGRAPHY, GEOGRAPHIC // Book cover design b> // 11 New Fetter Lane London EC4P 4EE 29 West 35th Street New York NY 10001 www.tandf.co.uk Printed in Great Britain // HUH // A°0ndcŕ  // v // Contents // Preface...viii // 1 Settings and needs for web cartography (Menno-Jan Kraak)...1 // 1.1 New mapping environments ...1 // 1.2 Types of web maps ...3 // 1.3 What is special about web maps? ...4 // 1.4 This book and its website...6 // 2 Trends in cartography (Menno-Jan Kraak)...9 // 2.1 Visualisation process: cartographic principles...9 // 2.2 Visualisation strategies: mapping for public communication and // mapping to stimulate visual thinking...11 // 2.3 New cartographic realms: mapping cyberspace...15 // 3 Use of maps on the Web (Corné P.J.M. van Elzakker)...21 // 3.1 Introduction ...21 // 3.2 What’s the use of web maps? ...22 // 3.3 Modes of using web maps ...25 // 3.4 finding and retrieving maps and geodata on theW eb...28 // 3.5 Web maps in geospatial
