Post <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Discussion group for map history <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> More cartogram than traditional maps, can we be comfortable using "cartogram" to cover these images. I consider cartograms a map/diagram where space on the image represents something other than space in the world. This "something other" can be relationships, production/consumption data, and the like. For me, cybermaps are cartograms. Do we need some new meta-term or can "cartogram" suffice as a category designation? http://scimaps.org/submissions/7-digital_libraries/10maps+quotes.html JBP _
