Abstract

The concept of an atlas as a book of maps, with its authoritative tone, encyclopedic ambition, spatial and/or thematic unity, and narrative structure, has expanded as atlases have moved to the web. Cyber atlases are now protean and multifunctional. They represent points and networks, bodies and stories, satellite and street images, authoritative and less authoritative data. They are used not only to communicate, share, inform, educate, convince, and control, but also to collect data about their users, to sell ads and services, and to orient its users in the physical as well as in the digital world. These changes and expansions are assessed in this paper through a review of what can be considered four main families of online atlases: national cyberatlases, cyberworld atlases, cyberroad atlases, and cybercommunity atlases.
