ABSTRACT

Cartography is changing: changing from being supply-driven to demand-driven. More people will be involved in making maps. More maps will be created, but many of them only for a single use. These maps are changing from being final products, presenting spatial information, to interim products, that facilitate our visual thinking. Maps will be the primary tools in an interactive, real-time and dynamic environment, used to explore spatial databases that are hyperlinked together via the World Wide Web.
