kaartperiodiek

Kaartperiodiek is a term used in cartography and related fields to describe a recurring or periodic appearance of cartographic works. This could refer to the regular issuance of a map series, such as annual topographic maps of a region, or the cyclical update of thematic maps based on changing data. The periodicity is often driven by the need for current information in a specific domain, like weather patterns, economic indicators, or land use changes.

The concept of kaartperiodiek can also extend to the historical study of mapmaking, examining how the production and distribution of maps evolved over time. For instance, the periodic publication of atlases by prominent geographers or the regular printing of nautical charts by maritime authorities are examples of kaartperiodiek in a historical context. Understanding the periodicity of map production helps in analyzing trends in cartographic practices, the dissemination of geographical knowledge, and the societal demand for spatial information. It also plays a role in cataloging and archiving map collections, allowing for a systematic approach to organizing and accessing historical cartographic materials.
