To simplify the originally complex map and to increase the information potential of the maps, we propose seven different types of additional map functionality according to the specific characteristics of the original map content. In addition, we present a set of rules, principles, recommendations, and methods for the cartographic design and processing of originally printed historical maps that should be considered when they are prepared for presentation on the web, including the description of the specific visualisation processes for the proposed types of map functionality. The proposed complex methodology can be applied to similar projects focused on the conversion of originally printed maps to the web and may contribute to improving the quality of the visualisation and presentation of historical maps on the web in general.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi12060230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,5]],"date-time":"2023-06-05T01:53:25Z","timestamp":1685930005000},"page":"230","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Cartographic Design and Processing of Originally Printed Historical Maps for Their Presentation on the Web"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0540-5202","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Petra","family":"Justov\u00e1","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geomatics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Th\u00e1kurova 7, 166 29 Praha, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0325-8408","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji\u0159\u00ed","family":"Cajthaml","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geomatics, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague, Th\u00e1kurova 7, 166 29 Praha, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.3138\/U558-H737-6577-8U31","article-title":"Strategies for the Visualisation of Geographic Time-Series Data","volume":"27","author":"Monmonier","year":"1990","journal-title":"Cartographica"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3138\/D357-234G-2M62-4373","article-title":"Mapping Time","volume":"34","author":"Vasiliev","year":"1997","journal-title":"Cartographica"},{"key":"ref_3","first-page":"649","article-title":"Appendix 1\u2014Cartographic Considerations.
