HISTORY TERMS OF REFERENCE |
In our rapidly evolving knowledge, information and communication based society, a number of issues in Cartographic Heritage should be revisited in terms of the new digital tools which are today available and in wide use. An interesting field for actions in this domain can be focused e.g. on the transformation into digital of old maps, atlases and globes with all the delicate questions related to such transformation; on the cartometric and thematic research on antique maps; on the digital tools helping and broadening the work of map curators, the development of virtual map libraries; on the digital archiving and retrieval of cartographic archives; on the digital communication channels for the users of antique maps in the context of a modern information society. All these, and some more easily derivable from the previous, could find a productive embedding in this WG on digital technologies applied to Cartographic Heritage. |
