Course content
|
The subject is focused on the basic aspects of web cartography and the specifics of web cartography compared to traditional cartography. All tasks are based on basic cartographic principles. Selected cartographic topics are presented with an emphasis on the connection of geographic and computer cartography with the Internet environment. As part of the exercises, students practically master Esri and Leaflet technologies. The course includes seminars where students present their independent work leading to the independent compilation of a web map concept. The subject is focused on mastering basic work with web map libraries. Completion of the subject is done by practical verification of skills with the acquired systems. Syllabus: - Anchoring of web cartography, definition of terms - History and milestones - Prerequisites - Data aspects -- GeoJSON + Geopackage formats - Software aspects -- Esri Platform -- Leaflet - Technological and economic aspects - Cartographic aspects
