    Cartography, GIS and Internet

    Internet

    Acomputer networkconsists of at leasttwo computers mutuallyconnected so they couldtransfer the data. Theinternational computernetwork consists ofvarious types of networks

    classified according to thestandards they use andtheir very purpose.

    Internet is aninternational computernetwork that includes alarge number ofcomputers, as well as ageneral set of data, information processes and peoplegiving or using these data (Fig. 1). It is made of a lotof national networks offering an infinite general

    potential of information, knowledge, communicationmanner and cooperation of people from all over theworld (Meter et al. 1995).

    Internet can be observed as a set of basiccommunication protocols, as a physical collection ofvarious types of hardware, e.g. a router and anothernetwork hardware, or even as a special idea aboutconnecting people and communication. From thetechnical point of view, Internet is a network of allnational, academic, scientific, commercial and otherworld networks. Thus connected, the Internet makes

    it possible for individuals from all these networks tocommunicate with each other and transferinformation (Suanj and Petri#, 1996).

    The number of computers connected to Internet hasbeen growing from day to day. In the beginning theInternet used to connect a very few computers formilitary and research purposes, then more and moreuniversities have become members of Internet, thenthe government of the USA connected the majorityof its institutions, and in the late eighties it became

    possible for various commercial organisations to

    approach Internet as well (Meter et al., 1995).

    Computer Industry Almanac has informed that therewere 327 million users of Internet in the world in theyear 2000. According to their estimations there will

    be 490 million in the year2002, and 720 million in2005. Today about 10% of

    population have access toInternet in 25 countries.The usage of Internet willgrow even faster due tomobile telephones.

    Wireless ApplicationProtocol (WAP) enablesthe access to Internetthrough a mobile phonewith a small screen. It isestimated that in a fewyears more people willhave access to Internet

    through mobile phones than through networkedcomputers. It has already happened in Japan(Peterson 2000).

    World Wide Web

    The Internet network developed mostly at the end of1992. The global information system called WorldWide Web (WWW) is the most responsible for suchdevelopment (Fig. 2). This system uses hypertext andmultimedia techniques, which considerablyfacilitates the access of end users to informationsystems (Debevc, 1996).

    Web is one of the most interesting network services.It makes it possible for everyone having access to

    Internet to present his/her data to the others in theway interesting and pleasant to the eye, or toapproach the data offered by someone else in a verysimple way.

    Like the most other Internet services, web is base onuser-server model as well with user programs forweb being called browsers applied for browsingthrough the hypertext.

    The files used by the web-server are not usual textfiles but the files written in HTML, a meta languagemade for web. What made web popular was itsgraphic interface (Meter et al., 1995).Web makes it possible for every Internet user toapproach any piece of information saved in thenetwork without being familiar with the way in

    Kartografija, GIS i internet

    Internet

    Ra!unalnu mreu !ine najmanje dva ra!unala koja sume"usobno spojena kako bi mogla prenositi

    podatake. Me"unarodna mrea ra!unala sastoji se odraznih tipova mrea i po standardima kojeupotrebljavaju i po samoj namjeni.

    Internet je me"unarodna ra!unalna mrea koja uzveliki broj ra!unala !ini i op#i skup podataka,informacijskih procesa i ljudi koji te podatke daju ili

    ih upotrebljavaju (slika 1). Sa!injen je od mnogonacionalnih mrea, prua neizmjeran op#i potencijalobavijesti, znanja, na!ina komunikacije i suradnjuljudi iz svih krajeva svijeta (Meter i dr., 1995).

    Internet se moe promatrati kao skup osnovnihkomunikacijskih protokola, kao fizi!ka zbirka raznoghardvera, na primjer usmjernika i drugog mrenoghardvera, ili !ak i kao zasebna ideja o povezivanjuljudi i komuniciranju. U tehni!kom pogledu, internet

    je mrea svih nacionalnih, akademskih, znanstvenih,komercijalnih i drugih svjetskih mrea. Tako

    povezan, internet omogu#ava pojedincima iz svih tihmrea da me"usobno komuniciraju i prenoseinformacije (Suanj i Petri#, 1996).

    Broj ra!unala povezanih na internet rastao je iz danau dan. U po!etku je internet povezivao vrlo malora!unala za vojne i istraiva!ke namjene, zatim je svevie i vie sveu!ilita postalo !lanicama interneta,zatim je vlada SAD-a povezala ve#inu svojihinstitucija, da bi u kasnimosamdesetim bio omogu#en pristup

    internetu i raznim komercijalnimorganizacijama (Meter i dr., 1995).

    Computer Industry Almanac jeizvjestio da je u 2000. godini bilona svijetu 327 milijuna korisnikainterneta. Prema njihovim

    procjenama u 2002. bit #e ih 490milijuna, a 720 milijuna u 2005.Danas ve#u 25 drava vie od10% stanovnika ima pristup

    internetu. Upotreba interneta pove#avat #e se jo ibre zahvaljuju#i mobilnoj telefoniji. WirelessApplication Protocol (WAP) omogu#uje pristupinternetu preko mobitela s malim ekranom.Procjenjuje se da #e za nekoliko godina vie ljudi

    pristupati internetu preko mobitela nego prekoumreenih ra!unala. U Japanu se to ve#dogodilo(Peterson 2000).

    World Wide Web

    Mrea internet najvie se razvila krajem 1992. Tomeje u najve#oj mjeri pridonio globalni informacijskisustav, nazvan World Wide Web (WWW ili web)(slika 2). Taj sustav upotrebljava hipertekst imultimedijske tehnike, to u znatnoj mjeri olakava

    pristup krajnjih korisnika informacijskih sustava(Debevc, 1996).

    Web je jedna od najzanimljivijih mrenih usluga.Omogu#ava svakome tko ima pristup internetu dasvoje podatke predo!i drugima na zanimljiv i okuugodan na!in ili da na jednostavan na!in pristupi

    podacima koje netko drugi nudi.

    Kao i ve#ina drugih internet usluga i web se temeljina korisni!ko-posluiteljskom modelu, pri !emu sekorisni!ki programi za web nazivaju preglednici(browseri), s kojima se moe listati hipertekst.

    Datoteke s kojima se web-posluitelj slui nisu obi!netekstualne datoteke, ve#se radi odatotekama pisanim u HTML-u,metajeziku koji je napravljen zaweb. Ono to je u!inilo web

    popularnim bilo je njegovo grafi!kosu!elje (Meter i dr., 1995).Web omogu#ava svakom korisnikuinterneta da pristupi bilo kojem

    which these data are transferred or saved.Hypermedia bases of web widen the Internet

    potentials and offer to a person dealing withcomputers the possibility to provide and publishinformation, opinions, multimedia records and othermaterial to the millions of people around the world ina simple way and with small expenses.

    In order to understand web better, we should realizewhat hypertext and hypermedia are. Hypertextorganises information as an interwoven network ofmutually connected texts. Hypermedia is a termreferring to hypertext documents containingmultimedia objects along with the text (images,sound and video records). Through a wide range ofvarious instructions, HTML enables the usage of alltypes of media objects, which is one of more

    powerful arguments proving that web is based on

    hypermedia (Petri#, 1995).

    HTML, by means of which hypertext files can bewritten, has numerous possibilities for textformatting as any other text-processing program.Apart from the text itself, the document may containimages, tables or forms enabling interactive work(Meter et al., 1995).

    In order to enter some file on Internet one should befamiliar with the document access manner, with thename of the computer where it can be found, thedirectory where it is saved and the file name itself.

    These data are contained in the URL address. URL isthe abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator(Suanj, Petri#1996).

    Cartography and Internet

    Green (1997) has researched Internet in short inconnection with maps and cartography. He states thatthere are many possible ways of using Internet incartography. Table 1 shows some of the ways in

    which cartographic information is already availablethrough Internet. Some are textual, and some in theform of maps.

    Maps are often applied as interfaces for otherinformation on web. They can be used only as avisual guidance, as a way of communicating theinformation, or as an example to various types ofavailable maps. Along with the development ofInternet technology there will be also the ways ofdelivering and using maps developed; e.g. the usageof animation and interactive switching on and off the

    map layers offer more dynamic possibilities forpresenting maps in raster and vector form, and theinteractions of users (see also Tunji#1998).

    Web maps can be static and dynamic. Both groupsinclude the maps that can be viewed only andinteractive maps. The most maps on web today arestill static and not interactive. These are e.g. scannedmaps installed on web. Some very old maps difficultto be reached become available to many users in thisway (Fig. 3). Static maps can also be interactive.Clicking certain places we provoke some

    operations, e.g. associating additional information,zooming and similar.

    Web has got a few possibilities for the presentationof dynamic processes by means of animation. A

    podatku spremljenom na mrei bez poznavanjana!ina na koji se ti podaci prenose i spremaju.Hipermedijalni temelji weba proiruju potencijaleinterneta, te !ovjeku koji se ne bavi ra!unalima

    pruaju mogu#nost da na jednostavan na!in uz vrlomale trokove pribavlja i objavljuje informacije,miljenja, multimedijalne zapise i druge materijale

    pred milijunskom publikom diljem svijeta.

    Da bi se web bolje razumio, potrebno je to boljeshvatiti to je to hipertekst, odnosno hipermedija.Hipertekst organizira informacije kao isprepletenumreu me"usobno povezanih tekstova. Hipermedija

    je pojam koji se odnosi na hipertekstualne dokumentekoji pored teksta sadre i multimedijalne objekte(slike, zvu!ni i videozapisi). HTML kroz iroku

    paletu raznih naredbi omogu#ava da se u web-stranicama upotrijebe svi tipovi medijalnih objekata,

    pa je to i jedan od ja!ih argumenata zbog kojih sekae da web po!iva na hipermedijalnim temeljima(Petri#, 1995).

    HTML pomo#u kojega se mogu pisatihipertekstualne datoteke ima brojne mogu#nosti zaformatiranje teksta, kao bilo koji program za obraduteksta. Osim samog teksta, unutar dokumenta mogu

    biti uklju!ene i slike, tablice ili pak obrascizahvaljuju#i kojima je mogu#interaktivni rad (Meteri dr., 1995).

    Da bi se pristupilo nekom dokumentu na internetu,

    potrebno je znati na!in pristupa do dokumenta, imera!unala na kojem se nalazi, direktorij u kojem je

    pohranjen i samo ime dokumenta. Te podatke sadriURL-adresa. URL je skra#enica od Uniform

    Resource Locator (Suanj, Petric 1996).

    Kartografija i internet

    Green (1997) ukratko istrauje internet u vezi skartama i kartografijom. Prema njemu postoji mnogo

    mogu#ih na!ina upotrebe interneta u kartografiji.Tablica 1. prikazuje neke od na!ina u kojima sukartografske informacije ve#dostupne prekointerneta. Neke su tekstualne, a druge u oblikukarata.

    Karte se !esto primjenjuju kao su!elja za drugeinformacije na webu. Mogu biti upotrijebljene samokao vizualni putokaz, kao na!in priop#avanjainformacija ili kao primjer mnogim razli!itimvrstama dostupnih karata. Kako se razvija internetskatehnologija, tako #e se razvijati i na!ini na koje sekarte mogu isporu!iti i upotrijebiti; npr. upotrebaanimacije i interaktivno uklju!ivanje i isklju!ivanjeslojeva karte pruaju dinami!nije mogu#nosti za

    prikazivanje karata u rasterskom i vektorskom oblikute interakcije korisnika (vidi tako"er Tunji#1998).

    Web-karte mogu biti stati!ke i dinami!ke. Objeskupine uklju!uju karte koje se mogu samo

    pregledavati (view only) i interaktivne karte. Ve#inakarata na webu danas su jo uvijek stati!ke i nisuinteraktivne. To su npr. skanirane karte postavljenena web. Neke vrlo stare i teko dostupne karte

    postaju na taj na!in dostupne mnogima (slika 3).Stati!ke karte mogu biti i interaktivne. Klikom na

    pojedino mjesto izazivaju se odre"ene operacije, npr.pridruivanje dodatnih informacija, zumiranje i sl .

    typical example is a globe turning around or themovement of clouds on meteorological maps.The greatest advantage of web maps from the users

    point of view is their availability and up-to-dateness.They are available for 24 hours a day with no

    limitations. The usage of CD-ROM has not solvedthe problem of up-to-dateness of maps. Only webmakes an essential progress possible. The examplesare meteorological maps, also road maps, i.e. thesituation regarding the roads being in the process of

    building.

    The availability and up-to-dateness, the two majoradvantages of web maps, are still not completelyreached. Some web maps are not regularly updated,and thus users lose confidence in these sites. It ismuch more important that there are some limitations

    in availability from the practical point of view:finding web maps, language, availability toeverybody, charged web map and geodata, access toInternet, speed of data transfer. Regarding thelanguage, it must be pointed out that English isdominant. But only 10% of world population use thislanguage, and 22% is illiterate. Furthermore, if wewrite some geographic name incorrectly, we will not

    be able to find the requested map or geodata.Economical factors are the main reasons forlimitations in having access to web. The data

    available without charge are not always of thehighest quality. The limiting factors are also theInternet access costs. The requirements in thisrespect include powerful computer, modem,

    software, telephone costs. The greatest problem for auser is the speed of data transfer.

    Internet is becoming more and more important in theworld economy. It is estimated that more than 50% ofgross national product increase in the United Statesin 1999 was realised due to Internet. There are nosuch precise data for web-mapping. It is sure,however, that this part of Internet economy will bereflected in cartography as well. Web is not only thetool for advertising traditional cartographic products,e.g. maps on paper and CD-ROM, and of mappingsoftware. Creation of maps on web maps is becominga new specialisation of cartographers andcartographic firms whose products and services must

    become available through web, too. In order tosurvive, the cartographic firms and organisations will

    have to be adjusted to the rules of Internet economy,and it will not always be easy.

    The map contents depends to a large extent on scale.Principally, the maps on the monitor, and thus webmaps as well, have changeable scale, because theycan be enlarged and reduced (zooming). Thecartographers can apply three types of zooming increating a map.

    In static linear zoomingthe image is enlargedlinearly, but the contents remain the same. The map

    is saved as an image. If it has got vector graphics, theimage is equally sharp, but if its raster graphics, thepixels become visible.

    Web ima nekoliko mogu#nosti za prikaz dinami!kihprocesa putem animacije. Tipi!an je primjer globuskoji se okre#e ili kretanje oblaka na meteorolokimkartama.

    Najve#a prednost web-karata iz perspektive korisnikaje njihova dostupnost i aktualnost. Dostupnost je 24sata na dan bez ikakvih ograni!enja. Upotreba CD-

    ROM-a nije rijeila problem aktualnosti karata. Tekweb omogu#uje bitan napredak. Primjer sumeteoroloke karte, tako"er i autokarte, tj. stanjecesta u izgradnji.

    Dostupnost i aktualnost, dvije glavne prednosti web-karata, nisu uvijek potpuno ispunjene. Neke web-stranice nisu redovito odravane pa korisnici gube

    povjerenje u te stranice. Mnogo je vanije da u praksipostoje i ograni!enja u dostupnosti: pronalaenjeweb-karata, jezik, dostupnost svima, web-karte igeopodaci uz naplatu, dostupnost interneta, brzina

    prijenosa podataka. to se ti!e jezika treba re#i da jeengleski dominantan. Ali tek 10% svjetskogstanovnitva slui se tim jezikom, a 22% jenepismeno. Nadalje, napiemo li neko geografskoime pogreno ne#emo prona#i traenu kartu iligeopodatke. Ekonomski !initelji glavni su razloziograni!enja u pristupu na web. Podaci dostupni beznaplate nisu uvijek najkvalitetniji. Ograni!avaju#ifaktor su i trokovi pristupa internetu. Uvjeti susnano ra!unalo, modem, softver, telefonski trokovi.

    Najve#i problem za korisnika je brzina prijenosa

    podataka.Internet dobiva sve ve#u vanost u svjetskojekonomiji. Procjenjuje se da je vie od 50%

    pove#anja bruto doma#eg proizvoda (GDP)Sjedinjenih Ameri!kih Drava u 1999. postignutozahvaljuju#i internetu. Za web-kartografiju ne

    postoje tako precizni podaci. Sigurno je, me"utim, da#e taj dio internetske ekonomije na#i odraza i ukartografiji. Web nije samo sredstvo za oglaavanjetradicionalnih kartografskih proizvoda, npr. karata na

    papiru i CD-ROM-u te kartografskog softvera.

    Kreiranje karata na web-stranicama postaje novaspecijalizacija kartografa ikartografskih tvrtki, !iji proizvodi iusluge moraju postati dostupni i prekoweba. Da bi preivjele, kartografsketvrtke i organizacije morat #e se

    prilago"ivati pravilima internetskeekonomije, a to ne#e uvijek biti lako.

    Sadraj karte ovisi u velikoj mjeri omjerilu. U na!elu karte na zaslonu(ekranu) monitora, pa prema tome iweb-karte imaju promjenljivo mjerilo,

    jer se mogu pove#avati i smanjivati (zumiranje).Kartografi mogu u kreiranju karata primijeniti trivrste zumiranja.

    Pristati!kom linearnom zumiranjuslika se linearnopove#ava, ali sadraj ostaje isti. Karta je spremljenakao slika. Ako je grafika vektorska, slika je jednakootra, a ako je rasterska postaju vidljivi pikseli.

    Ustati!kom stupnjevitom zumiranjudostupna jeserija karata istog podru!ja, svaka oblikovana zadrugo mjerilo. Pri zumiranju softver automatski biranajprikladniju kartu za traeno mjerilo.

    U dinami!kom zumiranjupostoji izravna vezaizme"u mjerila i sadraja karte. to je mjerilokrupnije, prikazuje se vie detalja na karti. Potrebna

    je izravna veza slike i baze podataka. Kartografskageneralizacija i simbolizacija naj!e#e se mijenja smjerilom. Naselje u sitnome mjerilu prikazuje se

    krui#em, a u krupnijem konturom naselja (Kraak,Brown 2001).

    Kad se govori o kartografiji i internetu trebaspomenuti i pristup internetu preko mobitela.Upotreba interneta preko mobitela sigurno #e bitiusmjerena na najnovije vijesti, vrijeme i sport (slika4). Najvjerojatnije #e se i karte prikazivati na malimekranima mobitela. Pritom #e glavni izazov bitiuspostava WAP specifi!nog kartografskog

    posluitelja, koji #e nuditi karte u formatuprikladnom za male ekrane mobitela (Peterson 2000).

    Multimedijska kartografija

    Multimedija je interakcija vie oblika medijapodrana ra!unalom. Ra!unalo je alat multimedije alii nezin medij. Web je dramati!no pove#ao brojkorisnika i upotrebu produkata interaktivnemultimedije.

    Do priblino sredine 1980-ih ra!unala su seupotrebljavala kao pomo#u izradi karata na papiru.

    Napredak u pohrani podataka (CD-ROM, DVD) i

    internet (web) omogu#ili su pod kraj 1980-ih i tokom1990-ih ulazak kartografije u eru multimedije.

    Multimedijska kartografija zasniva sena pet na!ela (Peterson 1999). Prvood tih na!ela govori da se karte na

    papiru ne mogu takmi!iti sinteraktivnim medijima u bitnomsvojstvu kartografije prikazu ikomunikaciji prostornog i dinami!kog

    svijeta.

    Drugo na!elo vezano je uzdistribuciju karata. Izum tiskarstva

    Instatic graduated zooming, a series of maps of thesame area is available, every one of them beingformed for another scale. In the process of zooming,the software automatically selects the most adequatemap for the requested scale.

    In dynamic zoomingthere is a direct connectionbetween the scale and the contents of a map. Thelarger the scale, the more details are presented on amap. A direct connection between the image anddatabase is needed. Map generalisation andsymbolization are most often changed with the scale.A settlement in small scale is presented with a cross,and in larger scale with the contour of the settlement(Kraak, Brown 2001).

    When speaking about cartography and Internet one

    should mention the access to Internet through mobilephone as well. The usage of Internet through mobilephone will surely be directed towards the most recentnews, weather and sport (Fig. 4). Most probably themaps will also be presented on small mobile phonescreens. The major challenge in this respect will bethe establishment of WAP specific cartographicserver that will offer maps in a format suitable forsmall mobile phone screens (Peterson 2000).

    Multimedia cartography

    The multimedia is an interaction of several forms ofcomputer-aided media. Computer is a multimediatool, but also its medium. Web has dramaticallyincreased the number of users and the usage of

    products of interactive multimedia.

    Until approximately mid-1980-ties, the computerswere used as help in producing maps on paper. Theadvance in saving data (CD-ROM, DVD) andInternet (web) enabled at the end of 1980-ties andduring 1990-ties the entrance of cartography into themultimedia age.

    Multimedia cartography is based on five principles(Peterson 1999). The first of these principles saysthat the maps on paper cannot compete withinteractive media in the essential property ofcartography presentation and communication of

    spatial and dynamic world.

    The second principle is connected with thedistribution of maps. The invention of printing has

    made it possible for maps to reach much greaternumber of people than ever before. Analogously, thecomputer networks have today even more speeded upthe distribution of maps. The tendency goes towardsinteractive maps that make it possible for users tochange the perspective, projection and detail degree.Also, the maps are more current. E.g. themeteorological maps change every few hours.

    The third principle is based onproblems connectedwith the usage of maps. Many people havedifficulties in using maps and have therefore very

    bad notion of the landscape surrounding them. Thesolutions could be offered by the interactivemultimedia. A map user is not limited any more toonly one view offered by the classical map but can

    omogu#io je da karte dopru do mnogo ve#eg brojaljudi nego prije toga. Analogno tome danas sura!unalne mree ubrzale distribuciju karata joznatno vie. Internet, a posebno web redefinirao jena!in izrade i upotrebe karata. Tendencija je premainteraktivnim kartama koje omogu#uju korisnikumijenjanje perspektive, projekcije i stupnja

    detaljnosti. Karte su osim toga suvremenije. Npr.meteoroloke karte mijenjaju se svakih nekoliko sati.

    Kartografija je u procesu promjene. Nuno jepromijeniti i neke ustaljene definicije. Npr. trebalo biredefinirati i pojam karte tako da se odnosi na

    interaktivni kartografski prikaz. Ako korisnik ne

    moe kontrolirati proces izrade karte, onda to nijekarta. Ako nema mogu#nosti interakcije, to tako"ernije karta. Karta nije ni prikaz, koji ne omogu#ujeanimaciju. Ono to mi danas nazivamo kartom to susamo stati!ki elementi karte.

    Dinami!ke karte, !iji se sadraj mijenja nakorisnikov zahtjev, op#enito su dostupne na webu

    (slika 5). Uskoro #e ta dinami!nost imati mnogo ve#emogu#nosti:dinami!ki smjetaj imena objekata na optimalna

    Kakva je u svemu tome uloga kartografa? Kartografimoraju, naravno, identificirati najprikladnijetehnologije za pripremu i distribuciju kvalitetnihkarata na webu i investirati u njih. Oblikovanjekarata za web je proirenje djelatnosti kartografa,koje zahtijeva nove na!ine oblikovanja.

    try various alternative presentations that will helphim/her to create a better landscape image.

    The fourth principle is connected with the essentialvalue of multimedia and it is believed thatmultimedia is leading to the improved informationand knowledge transfer. There is also research

    confirming, but also denying these statements.The fifth principle speaks aboutgeneral moralobligation of cartographersto pass on spatialinformation in an effective way to the as largenumber of users as possible.

    Cartography is in the process of changing. It isnecessary to change some established definitions aswell. E.g. the notion of map should be redefined sothat it would refer to the interactive cartographic

    presentation. If a user cannot control the process of

    map production, than it is not a map. If there is nopossibility for an interaction, this is also not a map.The map is not the presentation without enablinganimation. What we call map today are the only thestatic map elements.

    Dynamic maps the contents of which are changed asrequested by users are generally available on web(Fig. 5). Very soon, this dynamic feature will havemuch larger possibilities:dynamic placement of object names at optimal places

    generating a grid or a graticule on the map we create

    inserting a detailed map into the small scale map

    creating files for high quality printing on the basis ofdynamically created map, directly from web-browser.

    What is the role of a cartographer in all this?Cartographers must, of course, identify the most

    suitable technologies for preparation and distributionof high quality maps on web and make investments.The creation of maps for web widens the activity of acartographer requesting new ways of creating.Cartographers must be intensively dedicated to theirnew job if they do not want to leave this veryimportant part of the market to the other professions.Producing digital maps, cartographers have alreadyacquired the majority of necessary knowledge. Theyneed some additional skills (Wilfert 1998):

    in creating documents with HTMLin producing digital documents adapted to the

    presentation on the screen

    in audio- and video technique

    in programming, e.g. in Java.

    The evolution of payment system through Internetwill make it possible to apply maps more and more invarious areas. Some time will pass until the newmarket is settled, but its growth will be accelerated ifsupported by the structure of prices. The prices ofordered maps can be based on the map contents andits size. Web-cartography according to the orders ofusers is a great opportunity for various industrialgroups to work together very profitably (Willcox1999).

    For the production of web maps there is a largenumber of software packages available in the market.Some of the most well known are (Limp 1999):ArcView IMS (ESRI Inc.)

    Smallworld Web (Smallworld).

    GIS and Internet

    Web-GIS is a relatively new term. It denotes theapplication of Internet technology with its standardsin the transfer and presentation of data in GIS. Theusefulness of a certain GIS project will besignificantly increased if a larger number of users hasgot a simple access to the data in GIS whereby thesedata can be connected with the data from othersystems, then analysed and presented. For this

    purpose practically all f irms present in the GISmarket have united and founded Open-GIS-Consortium (OGC) (Kurzwernhart 1999).

    The members of OGC have recently suggested andpresented a significant open interface that couldcause revolution in using geospatial information onweb (URL 6). It refers to the result of the projectabout the possibilities of mutual work to be

    performed by more various systems or devices in the

    networks titled Interoperability program WebMapping Testbed WMT. The fact is that thousandsof web maps contain images or maps of the Earth,

    but they do not operate together. Let us imagine theusage of a web browser having limitless access andthe one that we can browse and research a great, richand widely distributed content of geospatial datawith. This is the goal of the project WMT in OGC. Along time isolated for application of desktopcomputers or office servers, geospatial technologiesare transformed today in order to be adjusted to webas well as possible. Geo-enabled web services willsoon integrated space and time in the process ofdeciding, learning and researching. These serviceswill give more than the maps themselves, but themaps will be an important beginning. The projectWMT is based on the initial definition of a map as afiltered subgroup of geospatial data in accordancewith the position, scale and purpose, and presented

    by means of cartographic signs. According toWillcox (1999), the results will prove itself asfundamental in the distribution of maps havingselected and rich contents. According to the proposal

    of OGC, the contents of individual map can betheoretically limitless. Moreover, the data can begathered from the sources of various technologiesand united in the same map according to the user s

    needs. Internet is a cartographic database. This is acrucial assumption because it makes it possible forusers to find and combine various map layers of oneand the same geographic area without specialsoftware, regardless of the differences the ownersmay have in saving, analysing and presenting data.

    Web-pages with cartographic contents

    The Department for Cartography at the Faculty ofGeodesy, University of Zagreb has got its own pageson Internet within the scope of web pages belongingto the Faculty of Geodesy (URL 7) (Fig. 6). The

    pages contain the following: history, employees,teaching activity, projects, publications, hardware,software.

    In the communication of state geodetic and

    cartographic organisations (SGCO) with the users oftheir services, web has got a special role. Kraak andBrown (2001) state the contents that web pages ofSGCO should contain:organisation information

    information about analogous products: descriptiveinformation, map samples that can be downloaded,general sheets (only general or interactive),information about prices; whether direct ordering is

    possible?

    information about digital products: descriptive

    information, digital map samples that can bedownloaded, information about prices; whether directordering is possible?

    apart from mother tongue, some information should begiven in one of the world languages as well.

    From the address (URL 8) one can reach web pagesof any of 70 (June 2001) SGCO around the world.SGCO of e.g. the Netherlands, Great Britain, Canada,the USA and Australia contain all previouslymentioned data. SGCO of the Republic of Croatia,

    the State Geodetic Administration, has got its webpages at the address (URL 9). The pages containamong other things the Catalogue of the State Surveyand Real Estate Cadastre Data, and the price list forthese data with the data about topographic maps inanalogous and digital form stated there as well.

    On the pages of the Croatian HydrographicalInstitute in Split (URL 10) there is an interactive mapof the Adriatic Sea (Fig. 7). Clicking some placesone can get a detailed map of that area enabling alsothe presentation of a map in even larger scale. The

    pages also contain the Catalogue of Sea Maps andNavigation Publication.

    data about the basic goals and tasks of the Sectiongiven in Croatian and English, about its history andactivities.

    The basic data about the collection of geographicmaps and atlases in the National and UniversityLibrary in Zagreb can be found at the address (URL12) after selecting Services and thenLibraries and

    collections.

    The pages of the International CartographicAssociation ICA (URL 13) (Fig. 8) contain thefollowing information in English and French: the

    plan of activit ies for two years, news, competitions,publications, statute and other documents,commissions, members, related associations. ICA hasnoticed the importance of Internet for cartographyand has founded the commission titled Maps and

    Internet. The purpose of this commission is to studyand advance the map usage on Internet.

    On Internet one can also find textbooks from thefield of cartography. One of the latest is:Meno-Jan

    Kraak and Allan Brown, Web cartography developments and prospectspublished in 2001. Web

    pages of this textbook (URL 14) contain abstracts ofall chapters. All pictures from the book can be foundon these pages in colour, and if it is of essentialsignificance, they are dynamic and interactive inorder to illustrate all the possibilities that arediscussed in the book. All chapter are accompanied

    by references lists and hyperlinks (URL-s) todocuments where one can find more detailedinformation or illustrations of topics dealt with insingle chapters. All these URL-s (altogether 344) aredirectly accessible from web page of the book.

    How can we find the maps we need on web? There isno right answer to that question because there is noresearch carried out about using maps on web(Kraak, Brown 2001). One of the solutions is the useof web browsers. One can search by means of keywords, e.g. maps + Croatia. A very successful

    web browser is Google (URL 15). For the users fromCroatia the interface is in Croatian. If we selectadvance searchingand then with specific phrase, andthen write energy map of Croatia, we will get web

    pages with the requested contents. If we use keywords while searching, we will not always get a newmap as a result, but the texts about such maps. If wesearch only for maps, then much more adequate

    browsers are those based on catalogue with index.Such browser is HotBot (URL 16). In the group

    Reference there is a subgroupMaps. If we click onMaps, a list of new subgroups is opened with linkson web pages where these maps can be found. Onthese pages the maps are often grouped according togeographic units, e.g. states that can be selected froma corresponding menu. Similar possibilities are

    offered by the search program AltaVista (URL 17)that opens the subgroupMapsin the group Tools.

    For the purpose of browsing the Croatian web-spacethe program CARNet (Croatian Academic andResearch Net) (URL 18) can be of very good service.If we write the key word zemljovid (map) we will getthe addresses with links to web pages containing

    geographic maps as well.

    There are also specialised cartographic web sites onweb, e.g. MapQuest (URL 19). It is often cited thatthese are the most often visited cartographic web pagesin the world. For example in March 2000 more than 5.5million users visited these pages. However, the speedand ease of finding information on MapQuest go at theexpense of the quality of cartographic creation (Kraak,Brown 2001). Political and physical maps and statisticdata about many countries can be found on web pagesAtlapedia online (URL 20).

    A very good address to search for geographic maps isalso Oddens Bookmarks (URL 21). It was created inthe Geographic Department of the University inUtrecht. It contains more than 14 000 links (August2001) to various cartographic materials. From 1996 upto now there have been more than 1.4 million visits tothese pages registered. If we type e.g. Zagreb into thefield Search, we will get among other things a new planof Zagreb in large scale divided into several sheets. Thearrows around every sheet enable quick switching over

    to the adjacent sheet.Web page of the geodetic firm GEO-GAUSS d.o.o.from $akovec is the source of many cartographicinformation (URL 22). Under the tip Kartografskiservisi (Cartographic services) there are links to overfifty addresses with cartographic contents (maps, city

    plans, atlases, satellite images, organisations, portalsetc.). On the pages of this firm there are also the plansof seventy-six Croatian cities (Plans of Croatian Cities),for many cities even several plans (January 2002). Thevalue of these pages has been noticed by our

    information magazines BUG (20021) and PCChip(2001).
