Data Map With SVG
Jim Ray erklärt für A List Apart wie sich SVG für die Darstellung von Karten nutzen lässt und gibt auch gleich einige Ressourcen mit.
SVG has held a lot of unrealized promise for over a decade now, with baked in support finally becoming mainstream (even IE9 will include native SVG rendering when it launches later this year). Unlike canvas or other script-only approaches, SVG can be easily divided into design and code elements, with just a little code to add interactivity. It even works on devices like the iPad and iPhone. And now, thanks to svgweb and a clever use of Flash, it works on older platforms no one could have ever imagined supporting SVG.
