ABSTRACT

The article deals with issues of displaying the temporal component of data in web map applications, specifically in Esri Story Maps. The testing of time display capabilities was performed on existing maps from the Academic Atlas of Czech History. The original data, initially intended only for the printed atlas, has been converted to Esri Story Maps templates. In addition, the individual application editing options are described to suit their purpose, for example the Time slider display, the use of bookmarks for different periods of time, or animations showing the development of the area over time. The testing was carried out with regard to the Czech Historical Atlas project of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, where the tested technology, considering results achieved, would be used for a wide range of maps.
