Old and New Models of Mapping
I'm not sure this works directly, but is it possible to make a table of contrasts between the old and new models of mapping/cartography?
By directly, I mean a 1-1 replacement of the old with the new. There might be more than one alternative.
Old: New
Experts: Users
Closed source/monosource: Open source
Cartographers: Non-cartographers (artists, map hackers)
Communication: Participation
Maps are neutral: Maps are power-knowledge
Non-political : Political
Desktop PC: the network
Update: Nov. 6 2005. How does Web 2.0 relate here? There's an article on this in the format I started here. This is by Tim O'Reilly.
