“…As an example, we can mention the National Atlas of Switzerland , which was published in three digital editions first in 2000 40 and followed by the internet version; 41 the sixth edition of the Atlas of Canada , which was posted on the website in 1999, 42 or the Atlas Information System of Austria . 43 The third edition of the Atlas of Switzerland is a highly interactive, user-oriented application offering numerous possibilities of data visualisation, combination and integration. Looking back to the Czech and Slovak Republics, there are electronic versions of both the LASR and LACR.…”

In this article, we review the classifications of thematic cartography methods and propose a new universal classification system, putting a special emphasis on the hierarchisation and logical structure. Basic groups of thematic cartography methods are defined as follows: (1) value-by-size/count, (2) value-by-colour, (3) dot density maps, (4) surfaces and (5) cartograms, with a further detailed classification. In the second part, we apply the proposed classification system on the evaluation of thematic cartography methods in five Czech and Slovak national atlases published throughout nearly a century. Our results show that the lowest number of methods was used in the oldest atlas (published in 1935), while the highest number of methods was used in the atlases from the years 1966 and 1980. The newest national atlases (published in 2002 and 2010) use a relatively low number of methods. The maps of the newest atlases are also simpler, and they contain a generally low amount of ascertainable information.

From the conception to the completion of building a successful cartographic online product, designing the presentation of information is an essential task. User-centred cartographic information architecture, the purposeful structuring of spatialrelated information in the sense of an 'architecture of information' is a key issue in developing an interactive mapping system. These considerations have been followed in the development of the 'Ö ROK-Atlas online', the Web-based version of the 'Ö ROK Atlas on spatial development in Austria', one of Austria's most acknowledged thematic map series.

An online version of the Ecological Atlas of Russia, published in 2017, is currently being developed. The article sets the task of cataloging atlas maps satellite images, which is necessary to provide user navigation, search and compilation of thematic collections. The article analyzes a number of Russian and foreign online atlases and their navigation systems, on the basis of which a system of cataloging and classification of maps for the electronic version of the Ecological Atlas of Russia has been developed. The cataloging of maps satellite images is based on a system of parameters that are assigned to each map. These include the identification number of the image, page numbers in the paper version of the atlas, the name of the section, territorial coverage, scale, text of the legend and some other parameters. Special attention during cataloging is paid to assigning keywords and phrases to all maps and satellite images. Keyword search will give the user the opportunity to compile collections of thematically similar images, even if they are located in different sections of the atlas. A prototype of an interface designed to search for maps has also been developed. The search can be carried out by several parameters at the discretion of the user. The search result will be a list of images with previews, titles and links. When opening the map, for the convenience of the user, links will also be provided to the text description of the section to which this map belongs, to thematically close maps, as well as to previously viewed maps. The principles of cataloging and searching maps proposed in this study can be used in the development of online versions of other complex thematic atlases.
