Abstract

Nowadays map repertoire expands the outcome of traditional mapping technologies by digital-, multimedia- and neo-cartographic aspects. Especially neo-cartographic characteristics (ubiquitous cartography, user participation and geo-communication) are new paradigms in modern cartography. This new expansion of digital-, multimedia- and Internet-cartography combines the latest Web developments with traditional cartography and psychological imagery research. In terms of a prospective cartographic heritage these modern developments lead to a starting dilemma on the archiving of involved digital technologies and map contents. Even if new archiving methods for digital applications and data were developed in the past decade, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and distributed network applications still wait for appropriate archiving procedures. Initial considerations and questions on solving this starting archiving dilemma for the history of modern maps are this discussed in this contribution.
