Some recent developments in the theory and practice of cybercartography: Applications in indigenous mapping: An introduction

This chapter summarizes some of the recent developments in the theory and practice of cybercartography discussed in this book and the substantial changes that have taken place since the first edition of the book was published in 2005. The seven major elements of cybercartography outlined in the first edition have been supplemented by six key ideas, and the definition of cybercartography has been extended and expanded. The new practice of mapping a traditional knowledge (TK) in partnership with indigenous people has led to a new theoretical understanding as well as innovative cybercartographic atlases.
