- Abstract
Atlases combine maps and other visual materials according to a predefined structure to reach specific objectives. Together the structure and objective provide the atlas narrative. The appearance of an atlas and its context affects how it can tell a story. The atlas can be printed on paper, or published online as an interactive atlas. Both have certain means to convey the story to the user. This often includes options to find locations, and to show and compare patterns. To explain patterns the maps can be accompanied by diagrams, text or images and – in the case of interactive atlases – by videos. Some online atlases even include links to related external resources.
