Abstract
This paper provides an overview of recent developments on the World Wide Web from a cartographer's perspective. The first section briefly describes how the Web came to be and discusses the conceptual models that control the Web's functionality. The second section of the paper is an overview of a variety of cartographic Web resources (ranging from federal to commercial to educational) that are available on the Web. These sites offer tremendous resources for use in the classroom, research, and even leisure activities. The paper concludes with examples of two Internet projects that make extensive use of cartographic materials: the Geograpliy Virh1al Department (out of the University of Texas Austin) and the Bosnian Virtual Fieldtrip (out of George Mason University).
