hi,
beginning with release 1.9 mediawiki can have image maps. we also had it as suggestion for the 150 jahre volkschule project (scholars at the age of 12-14) - but it seems quite challenging - without tools :)
see here for details: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files#Navigati... * http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dapete/ImageMapEdit/ImageMapEdit.html?en
creating/coloring maps is usually the biggest work. anybody knows good tools or good keywords for a websearch to find tools which facilitate drawing/coloring images like http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Gemeindeartikel-ch_060208.png?

a second question: what is the best/preferred format to store the result? is it svg?

You could put the image as background on a vectorial image editor and draw over it, buit it's still a hard work.

Yes.
