Abstract
This chapter explains the methodology that will be adopted by this study in order to meet its research objectives. The methodology can be divided broadly into three parts. The first two deal with the requirements of addressing the first research objective, including the issues regarding the translation of source materials, classification methods and the construction and sourcing of a sample of maps. The third part deals with the second research objective.
