Summary
C.P.J.M. van Elzakker A. Koussoulakou - Maps and their
use on the Internet
Keywords: use of geographical information, map use, Inter
net, research
This paper can be considered as an initial step into the requi-
red research into the use ofmaps on the Internet. First, a sur
vey is presented of various maps available through the World
Wide Web (www). By including the URL addresses of Websites
readers are invited to an on-line illustration. The authors do
not deal with the possibilities to download geographical data
wen digital map files) which are further processed locally with
the help of cartographic or GIS Software which may also be
downloaded). Here, the focus is on map types, sources, Contents
and functionalities on the Internet itself. A next section of the
paper deals with the limitations of the Internet from a carto
graphic point of view. Thereafter, an attempt is made to iden-
tify dijferent modes of use and the users ofmaps on the Inter
net, now and in the future. The paper is concluded with some
recommendations for further research, including tests with real
users in real surfing conditions. These tests may lead to a better
understanding ofthe reasons why and how people make use of
cartographic tools through the Internet.
This paper has been presented orally at the i8th International
Cartographic Conference ICC 97 ofthe ica which was held in
Stockholm, Sweden, 23-27 June 1997. The füll paper in English
has been published in the Conference Proceedings (Volume 2,
pp. 620-627).

C.P.J.M. van Elzakker A. Koussoulakou - Les cartes et leur
utilisation sur Internet
Mots-cles: utilisation de l'information geographique, utili
sation des cartes, Internet, recherche
L'article peut etre considere comme un premier pas vers des re-
cherches necessaires pour l'utilisation de cartes sur l'Internet.
D'abord ilpresente une revue des diverses cartes disponibles sur
la Toile (www). En indiquant les adresses URL des sites, les
utilisateurs sont invites proceder des illustrations en ligne.
Les auteurs n'indiquentpas lespossibilitls de decharger les don-
nees geographiques (ni les bases de donnees digitales): Celles
peuvent etre effectuees localement par des logiciels cartographi-
ques ou de SIG (qui peuvent egalement etre decharges), mais
mettent l'accent sur la typologie, les sources, le contenu et les
fonetions possibles de l'Internet meme. Dans un chapitre sui-
vant, ils indiquent les limites de l'utilisation de l'Internet, du
point de vue cartographiqueensuite ils essayent d'identifier les
dijferents modes d'utilisation, ainsi que les utilisateurs meme
de l'Internet, actuellement et dans l'avenir. En conclusion, les
auteurs presentent des recommandations pour les recherches
ulterieures, y compris des tests avec les utilisateurs reels, dans
des conditions reelles de 'surfing, tests pouvant permettre une
meilleure connaissance des raisons de 'pourquoi' et 'comment'
on utilise les outils cartographiques via Internet.
L'article reprend l'expose presente lors de la i8e Conference
Cartographique Internationale de L'aci Stockholm (S) les 23-
27 quin 1997. L'article complet a ete publie en anglais dans le
