A wise person once said, if you have no idea about a particular topic, write a book about it. Taking that advice, I wrote my habilitation book about digital maps. The impact of technology in our lives is constantly growing, also in the area of cartography and geoinformation. Old cartography and the laws relating to it will either fade away or reassess their relevance in the digital world.
For that reason, the research question posed in this book is whether satellite signals or satellite images and their content are copyrightable and whether they constitute a work of authorship and, if so,then of what kind?
To this end, I spent a few years immersed in the issues of cartography and geoinformation. As a lawyer, I wanted to learn the so called ‘cartographic grammar’ in order to understand how law and new technology intertwine.
I believe this book, encompassing as it does a great deal of work, will become a very helpful guidebook for many actors on the geoinformation scene: governments, space agencies, and entrepreneurs active in the space and geoinformation industries. It will also serve as a handbook for legal practitioners and students (of law, geography, geoinformation and geoinformatics).

To spend time considering the legal nature of paper and digital maps i a necessary exercise, but to do so demands a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach. [...] It should be emphasised here that the work of the author is undoubtedly the first such comprehensive study of issues related to international and national regulations that are related to the legal status of both traditional and digital maps.
