Journal for Geographic Information Science
Geospatial Minds for Society
The first generation of digital, and subsequently online, regional atlases did only little to reconceptualize the idea behind this established cartographic category. Using the case study of a regional atlas for Central Asia, the authors propose a fundamental re-thinking as a usercentric and target-group-specific front end for emerging Spatial Data Infrastructures. ‘Next generation’ regional atlases are anticipated as open frameworks based upon distributed online services; extensible, mashable, and modifiable, flexibly adjusting to situated devices.
