Research and development of electronic Atlas 1.1.1. Research and development of electronic Atlas in abroad Integrated digital maps with geographic information systems and Web design technology, multimedia technology is to create a new generation of interoperability Web Atlas [31], [32], [33], [70] with premium features compared to traditional Atlas and maps in product quality as well as the establishing and operating methods. Many countries around the world have focused on research and development of Atlas, Electronic Atlas and Web Atlas for country planning, developing. Today, the Web Atlas are based on the achievements of information technology, combined with mapping technology, which is a special combination of GIS technology and multimedia technology. 1.1.2. Research and development of Atlas in Vietnam In Vietnam, Atlas development can be divided into 3 phases as follows: Phase 1: the feudal period, phase 2: the French colonial time; 3 phases: from 1945 to today. In the first phase, it should include the Hong Duc atlas; this is the first atlas in our country. After 1958 under the yoke of French colonialism, the establishment of Atlas and maps in our country is mainly due to the France, in order for the investigation and management. Up to now, many provinces have adopted the digital mapping technology and GIS to establish the Electronic Atlas: Atlas Bac 5 Ninh, Lao Cai, Dong Nai, Lang Son, Tuyen Quang, Phu Tho, to serve the socio-economic planning and development of each ones. Vietnam Resources, Environment and Cartography Publishing House has published some Atlas such historical Atlas Vietnam [17]; Socioeconomic Atlas Vietnam [18]; Atlas Communications [19]; World Atlas [20]; administrative Vietnam Atlas [21], 1.1.3. Researching and developing Atlas of Hanoi + According to the traditional technology: Atlas Hanoi [22] published in 1984; Geographic Information Atlas Hanoi [36] in 2002, Atlas of population, family and children [23]; Streets Atlas of Hanoi [24]; Atlas of Thang Long - Hanoi [10], + According to MapInfo's technology and platform development on MapXtreme technology, several authors assert method and its applicability as: Dr. Nhu Thi Xuan 2010 [49]; NCS. Bui Ngoc Quy [32] [54], + According to ESRI technology, Dr. Doan Thi Xuan Huong [82], Vietnam Resources, Environment and Mapping Publishing house also has research and experimental release of maps on the internet. 1.2. Overview of Electronic Atlas In simple terms it is a kind of electronic Atlas which was built and used primarily in the electronic computer - this is the definition Eva Siekierska [58] launched in 1984 and has been accepted by ICA. 1.3. Overview of Network Atlas - Web Atlas 1.3.1. Overview of Web map 1.3.1.1. Web - The new environment for maps publishing Currently, the Internet has developed quite extensively; the World Wide Web (WWW) is the newest medium for presenting and 6 displaying geospatial data with many advantages. WWW is used for publishing process maps [64] to create the network map (site map) or online atlas (Web Atlas). 1.3.1.2. Web map as a web service Web map is a map service provided on the Web.
