3. Introduction

4. GCRC's Research Focus
The application of geographic information
processing to the analysis of topics of interest to
society in a national and international context
and the display of the results in ways that people
can readily understand

5. Cybercartography
•Cybercartography is a theoretical construct proposed by D.R.
Fraser Taylor (1997, 2003, 2013). It is:
“the organization, presentation, analysis and communication of
spatially referenced information on a wide variety of topics of
interest and use to society in an interactive, dynamic, multimedia,
multisensory and multidisciplinary format”.
Cybercartography offers an opportunity for deeply rethinking
how we design and produce, disseminate and use maps on the
Internet.

6. 6 Central Concepts of
Cybercartography
1. Multisensory
2. Multiple ways of learning
3. Interactive, multimedia, dynamic
4. Enable people to create their own narratives
5. Multiple views on the same topic
6. Democratizing mapping – creators & users

• Cybercartographic Atlases & Infrastructure
• Indigenous Knowledge (LTK,TK)
• Northern Research
• Law, Society and Cybercartography
• Geospatial Information Management
