 Software engineer Sebastiaan Marynissen (Whisthub BV) designed custom-made cartography software for this data which draws mulitvariate name maps with colour-coded pie charts in different sizes, showing the frequency and distribution of the selected name types in the Dutch language area, modelled on the maps in the //Deutscher Familiennamenatlas//. Unless otherwise specified, maps with relative frequencies (i.e. percentage representation of the number of name bearers in relation to the total population of the municipalities) are opted for, with five name bearers as a lower limit per municipality. When mapping with relative frequencies, the core areas of the contrasting name patterns stand out sharply against each other.\\
-The distribution of an individual Belgian or Dutch surname can be looked up on the websites https://familienaam.be (for Belgium) and https://www.cbgfamilienamen.nl/nfb/ (for the Netherlands). The same material is used for these websites as for this atlas.
+Anyone wanting to look up the distribution of individual surnames can visit the websites https://familienaam.be (for Belgium) and https://www.cbgfamilienamen.nl/nfb/ (for the Netherlands), which use the same data as this atlas.\\
-The pages with the maps that are online published in this DokuWiki, are each structured as follows:
+The pages with map complexes that are published online in this DokuWiki have the following fixed **structure**:
-  * Research question: explanation of what kind of variation is dealt with
+  * Research question: explanation of the type of variation being discussed
-  * Data: enumeration of tokens (i.e. individual surnames with frequency) for each mapped type

-  * Map(s) (A, B, C…) with geographical distribution of the treated types in the Dutch language area
+  * Map(s) (A, B, C…) with geographical distribution of the studied surname types in the Dutch language area
-  * Comment: Interpretation of the distribution of the types on the map
+  * Comment: Interpretation of the map
-  * Other variation: reference to other map pages with other types of variation on the same lexeme
+  * Other variation: referrals to web pages with other types of variation for the same lexeme
