Description: The definition of cartographic heritage can be depicted by actual projects in modern cartography. A very basic structure of cartographic heritage is given by isolating map content, the development, preparation and creation of map content as well as map media and media carrier based issues. Therefore the topics within cartographic heritage span from archiving, reproduction, usage, education, geometric precision to psychological aspects. The contributions of this unique book describe the main focus of cartographic heritage with the help of theory, state-of-the-art practices and experience reports. It includes focii on the field of cybercartography, which uses interactive, dynamic, multisensory formats with employing multimedia and multimodal interfaces, which urgently necessitate new methods, structures and technologies.
