We invite you for a CartoTalk by Giedrė Beconytė from Vilnius University on the topic of

Geoportal.lt and New Cartography

Geographic information portals where datasets, services and applications can be shared and used for development of new datasets, services and applications, open new fields of activity for cartographers. We will discuss some issues of Web maps design, a method that allows to develop semantically correct representations and some cartographic examples inspired by the geoportal – collaboration and crowdsourcing in Lithuania: analytical maps, mapping alternative tourism sites, mapping literature and maps for fun.
