methodologies, to identify new and continuing work in this area, and to determine the key
objectives of these types of projects. The workshop brings together specialists in the use of
digital mapping technologies and scholars working on the linguistic, cultural and literary
aspects of mapping time and space. Special emphasis is placed on the mapping of Slavic and
