Spatial applications arise from a strong tradition of of the importance of spatial information and techniques to represent our place or other phenomena in our world. Maps are the basic concept to achive this.
Maps are informative.
Maps are directive.
Maps are aesthetic.
Maps are a lot of things.
Maps are changing…
In the era of the internet and new Web 2.0 techniques the question arise how much is the unterstanding about spatial information changing? What’s new in mapping? Is it a little or a lot? It think it is a lot and a little.
Hockenberry has a great presentation on this entitled with Design of Spatial Applications.
