History of the Cybercartographic Atlas of
Antarctica• Grew from Latin American
cybercartographic atlas project• Formally adopted by SCAR WG-GGI, July
2001• Two workshops held: December, 2001
and May, 2002• Significant international cooperation
and contribution during early stages• Currently seeking major funding with
some measure of success

Cybercartography• Multisensory• Multimedia delivered across
telecommunications networks• Highly interactive• Part of an information/analytical package
rather than a stand-alone product• Compiled by teams of individuals from
different disciplines• Involves new partnerships among research
centres, national mapping agencies, private sector, NGOs and educational institutions.

Cybercartographic Atlas Description
• A Cartographic Information System that uses a variety of Information Technologies including GIS, however the map is the primary interface rather than a simple output or display device.
• Presents information at global, continental and local scales
• Potential user communities include scientists, policy makers and the general public
![Page 6: The Cybercartographic Atlas of Antarctica D.R.F. Taylor Carleton University SCAR WG-GGI (Canada) XXVII SCAR, Shanghai, PRC July 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514ada1550346d36e8b5fde/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Goals of the Cybercartographic Atlas of Antarctica Project (CAAP)
• Create an innovative new product and methodology to compliment discovering, utilizing, presenting and distributing existing information and data about Antarctica to a wide variety of users, including scientists, decision makers and the general public
• Facilitate increased cooperation and information exchange between Antarctic stakeholders under the terms of the Antarctic treaty
• Through international cooperation, to develop and link National Atlases of Antarctica
