Maps at Statistics Switzerland Cartograms are made with Flash Technology Standalone Atlases The Swiss Federal Statistical Office decided in 2006 to develop a new mapping platform which combines efficient and dynamic geographic data handling in an atlas database with a high quality user interface and a large variety of cartographic display methods. The platform will be completed in early 2008. It will then serve as the technical basis for the production of a permanent statistical web atlas on its homepage, as well as some derived special thematic atlases (already published, see links). Thanks to its hybrid approach, it can instantly export atlases or parts thereof for a DVD or CD publication. Contact: mailto:thomas.schulz@bfs.admin.ch and mailto:armin.grossenbacher@bfs.admin.ch
