Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing objects of Digital Cultural Heritage. Its special important role becomes evident in enabling spatial relation analysis between any amount of DCH objects or of their granular details (video and film single scenes, text elements etc.). In addition to the pure geometric aspects, also the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are of inceasing importance. It is important to note that these requests on cartography are not only from specialists but there as an increasing societal expectations (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for quite a variety of social topics in the media). The geometrically-logical-cognitive potential for multimedia databases of digital cultural heritage are so high that handling, transmission and processing operations are expected with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders. After all, in the future applications and information demands are not only for finding and linking individual facts but whole areas of digital multimedia databases need to be processed for the purposes of promoting an understanding of historical and cultural contexts. This is an extremely important concern of the information society and there is an extensive challenge that raises the role of cartography in all these domains. The  book is expected to collect innovative technical and scientific work from the complete process of object digitization, detail extraction, archiving, interoperability of multimedia archives of Digital Cartographic Heritage, and use processes (business cases).weiterlesen
