British Museum uses Google Street View technology to put thousands of objects online and curate Museum of the World The world will be able to tour the British Museum online thanks to a new alliance between curators and Google© British Museum Neil MacGregor, the Director of the British Museum, says a new Street View tour allowing access to the museum’s permanent gallery and more than 4,500 objects represents a modern version of the age of Enlightenment during which the museum was founded in 1753. The Admonitions Scroll dates from the 6th century© British Museum One of the most important Chinese scrolls in the British Museum’s collection – the 6th century Admonitions Scroll, which is usually only visible for a few months each year due to their fragility – has been vividly rendered for a global audience as part of the partnership with the Google Cultural Institute. The timeline-based Museum of the World© British Museum © British Museum “The world today has changed,” says MacGregor. “And this isn’t just about putting the collection online. What do you think?
USA Topo Maps This map presents land cover and detailed topographic maps for the United States. It uses the USA Topographic Map service. The map includes the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Earth physical map at 1.24km per pixel for the world at small scales, i-cubed eTOPO 1:250,000-scale maps for the contiguous United States at medium scales, and National Geographic TOPO! The maps provide a very useful basemap for a variety of applications, particularly in rural areas where the topographic maps provide unique detail and features from other basemaps. To add this map service into a desktop application directly, go to the entry for the USA Topo Maps map service.

Making Maps: DIY Cartography | Resources and Ideas for Making Maps Cartes - Ministère de l’Europe et des Affaires étrangères La réalisation de cartes géographiques au format A4 (dites "format dossier") par le pôle géographique de la direction des Archives remonte à une quarantaine d’années. A l’époque, il n’existait pas dans l’édition ce genre de document aux dimensions pratiques. Le but était de pouvoir insérer, dans des dossiers diplomatiques divers, une ou plusieurs cartes représentant de façon claire un continent, une région, un pays ou une entité non-étatique. Cette cartographie a débuté de façon traditionnelle, puis – à partir du début des années 90 – à l’aide d’outils informatiques (logiciels de dessin vectoriel). La mise à jour de ces cartes se fait plus ou moins régulièrement, selon les changements qui peuvent intervenir et les informations qui parviennent au pôle géographique (découpage administratif, voies de communication, etc.). Le principal défaut de cette série est la variation d’échelle d’une carte à l’autre. Carte politique du Monde - Projection Robinson Télécharger la carte :

How to Avoid Being Fooled by Bad Maps Maps are big these days. Blogs and news sites (including this one) frequently post maps and those maps often go viral—40 maps that explain the world, the favorite TV shows of each U.S. state, and so on. They’re all over Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and news organizations are understandably capitalizing on the power that maps clearly have in digital space: they can visualize a lot of data quickly and effectively. But they can also visualize a lot of data inaccurately and misleadingly. A map is not just a picture—it’s also the data behind the map, the methodology used to collect and parse that data, the people doing that work, the choices made in terms of visualization and the software used to make them. Education about using maps (and geography as a whole) is not thorough or common in U.S. schools. At the same time, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has exploded as computers and software get more powerful and less expensive. Maps are still fun, even the inaccurate ones.
- esquisses et réflexions cartographiques About PELAGIOS stands for 'Pelagios: Enable Linked Ancient Geodata In Open Systems' - its aim is to help introduce Linked Open Data goodness into online resources that refer to places in the historic past. Why do we want to do that? Well, we think it will make all sorts of other things possible, including new modes of discovery and visualization for scholars and the general public. Pelagios also means 'of the sea', the superhighway of the pre-industrial world - a metaphor we consider appropriate for a digital resource that will connect references to ancient places. A short (10 slide) presentation providing a compact overview of PELAGIOS 1 & 2 is available online here. Pelagios is a collective of projects connected by a shared vision of a world - most eloquently described in Tom Elliott’s article ‘Digital Geography and Classics’ - in which the geography of the past is every bit as interconnected, interactive and interesting as the present.
