The access to maps evolves into basic rights that e.g. is realized with volunteered geographic information. The concepts of processing geospatial data, creating geospatial information and transmitting geospatial knowledge make use of service-oriented architectures. The paradigm seems to change from a “collecting—assembling—storing” to a “reusing—assembling—sharing” methodology. This chapter explores the new paradigm in map production and geoinformation management, highlights its relevance and discusses the main important requirements that need to be considered.

As a special type of digital data, digital maps not only contains geospatial datasets, but also requires the metadata and styling information associated with datasets. However, research has shown that most digital mapping archive projects in the world are using the shapefile and GeoTIFF format to store geospatial data, which cannot completely fulfill the principles of digital map preservation. Thus, an alternative method is necessary to satisfy the need for digital map preservation. This thesis proposes a new approach to archive digital maps using GeoPackage format and to disseminate digital maps using vector tile format. For this thesis, a case study was conducted using the Austrian Cartographic Model with national map styling. The new approach allows the archiving and sharing processes to be conducted in a free, cross-platform, and open-source...

For example, planning tools analyze visibility characteristics of inner urban areas and allow planers to estimate whether a minimum amount of light is needed in intensely covered areas to avoid "Gotham city effect", i.e., when these areas become too dark due to shadowing. For radio network planning, 3D city models are required to configure and optimize wireless network services, i.e., to calculate and analyze network coverage and connectivity features. 3D city model visualization often lacks effectiveness and expressiveness. For example, if we analyze common 3D views, large areas of the graphical presentations contain useless or e...

This paper investigates the enhancement of visual spatial relations in virtual 3D worlds, which's limitation on standard displays is a main drawback of digital cartography. The main limitations of digital cartography concern the extension of viewing plane and its resolution, which have impact on information depth of the map content, transmitting an overview, thus the highlighting of spatial relations and additional request for cognitive load. These drawbacks are not only limited to 2D maps, but are also existing in virtual 3D environments, where additional geometric characteristics, like perspective distortions, multiple scales or overriding, may influence a correct extraction of spatial-related content. On the other hand these specific geometric disadvantages should be formulated as benefit of 3D, especially when infinite numbers of scale can be combined in a "natural way" or spatial content becomes extracted by naïve interaction. One main limitation of digital presentations generally persists: the limitation of the presentation area on standard displays, which leads to a very restricted overview and fewer visible relations of spatial content. View-port variations that modify perspective and/or orthographic projections are one possibility to enhance rendering methods in a way that the main disadvantages of regular perspective views become decreased and the perceptibility for an overview and spatial relations expanded. These variations cover progressive and degressive central-perspectives as well as progressive and degressive "parallel-perspectives", which provide very specific characteristics in use with spatial information transmission. This contribution focuses on enhancing virtual spatial relations in 3D environments by using view-port variations, that modify perspective and orthographic views in a progressive and degressive way. Provided that standard displays deliver significant limitations for effective and expressive geo-communication with virtual 3D environments, offers by 3D cartography are discussed. An exemplary comparison of actual 3D city models allows to identify "dead values" and gives one clue for the requested modification. The description and exemplary visualization of view-port variations lead to their theoretical communication aspects, which will guide pragmatic (user) studies in future.

The processing methods of remote sensing results and photogrammetric recording have became more accurate, effective and the work flow is accelerated. The results, in general, are often used for engineering, documentation purposes and for the communication of environmental systems. By this, is meant that the understanding of the system plus its internal coherence is improved by the use of new digital presentation methods.

For cartographic applications the influence of standards on technical implementations are becoming standard in telecommunications and spatial description, where these formats result in executable software. Thus the use of standards may affect interoperability in each step of the cartographic communication process.
