For my next web mapping project, we’ll use vector tiles. Great. And the data will come from OpenStreetMap. Excellent. Now you only have five more questions to answer.

For the front-end web application developer who wants to stick a #map in their site, vector tiles open up lots of options and flexibility, but also lots of choices.

– Display engine: which JavaScript library is going to actually draw stuff in the browser?
– Style: how will you tell the display engine what colour to draw each thing in the schema?
– Data schema: what kinds of data are contained in the tiles, what are the layers called, and what are the attributes available?
– Tile transport: how will the engine know where to get each tile from?
– File format: how is the data translated into bytes to store within a tile file?

Bon petit topo pour se remettre dans le bain :)

The Harvard WorldMap Project

WorldMap is an open source web mapping system that is currently under construction. It is built to assist academic research and teaching as well as the general public and supports discovery, investigation, analysis, visualization, communication and archiving of multi-disciplinary, multi-source and multi-format data, organized spatially and temporally.

The first instance of WorldMap, focused on the continent of Africa, is called AfricaMap. Since its beta release in November of 2008, the framework has been implemented in several geographic locations with different research foci, including metro Boston, East Asia, Vermont, Harvard Forest and the city of Paris. These web mapping applications are used in courses as well as by individual researchers.
Introduction to the WorldMap Project

WorldMap solves the problem of discovering where things happen. It draws together an array of public maps and scholarly data to create a common source where users can:

Interact with the best available public data for a city/region/continent
See the whole of that area yet also zoom in to particular places
Accumulate both contemporary and historical data supplied by researchers and make it permanently accessible online
Work collaboratively across disciplines and organizations with spatial information in an online environment

The WorldMap project aims to accomplish these goals in stages, with public and private support. It draws on the basic insight of geographic information systems that spatiotemporal data becomes more meaningful as more “layers” are added, and makes use of tiling and indexing approaches to facilitate rapid search and visualization of large volumes of disparate data.

WorldMap aims to augment existing initiatives for globally sharing spatial data and technology such as GSDI (Global Spatial Data Infrastructure).WorldMap makes use of OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) compliant web services such as WMS (Web Map Service), emerging open standards such as WMS-C (cached WMS), and standards-based metadata formats, to enable WorldMap data layers to be inserted into existing data infrastructures.

All WorldMap source code will be made available as Open Source for others to use and improve upon.

Arctic Web Map (AWM) is an Arctic-specific web mapping tool allowing researchers to customize map projections for scientifically accurate visualization and analysis, a function that is critical for arctic research but missing in existing web mapping platforms. It provides a visually appealing tool for education and outreach to a wider audience. Arctic Web Map has two components: An Arctic-focused tile server, and a #leaflet-based client library. By providing tiles in multiple Arctic projections, data can be more accurately visualized compared to most Mercator projected map tiles.

Interactive and Multivariate Choropleth Maps with D3

ASSUMED SKILLS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The following tutorial describes how to make an interactive choropleth map using the D3 (Data-Driven Documents) web mapping library (d3js.org). This tutorial is based on a laboratory assignment created in the fall of 2014 for an advanced class titled Interactive Cartography and Geovisualization at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This is the second of two On the Horizon tutorials on web mapping and extends a previous tutorial that used the Leaflet JavaScript library (see Donohue et al. 2013; dx.doi.org/10.14714/CP76.1248). Fully commented source code for both tutorials is available on GitHub (github.com/uwcart/cartographic-perspectives). All code is distributed under a Creative Commons 3.0 license and available for unconditional use, with the exception of the files in the lib directory, for which certain license conditions are required as described in the file LICENSE.txt.

This tutorial assumes literacy in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS programming for the web. In particular, you should be comfortable with the manipulation of JavaScript arrays and objects. Free tutorials and reference documentation for these languages are available at www.w3schools.com. Additionally, D3 makes heavy use of jQuery-style DOM element selection and dot syntax (jquery.com). It is further assumed that you are familiar with in-browser development tools such as those provided by Google Chrome (developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools), Mozilla Firefox (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools), and Firebug (getfirebug.com). An important limitation of D3 is its incompatibility with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser prior to version 9; use of Internet Explorer below version 10 is not recommended. Finally, the tutorial assumes you have set up a development server running either remotely or as a localhost. MAMP for Mac (www.mamp.info/en) and WAMP for Windows (www.wampserver.com/en) are useful for this.

A World of Projection Distortions | Azavea Atlas
▻http://www.azavea.com/blogs/atlas/2013/10/a-world-of-projection-distortions

I think about #projections a little more than most people. When pondering the effects of projection distortion in web mapping, I came upon this question: What would it look like if the same geographic features were projected to different coordinate systems, and then overlaid on each other using the same center and scale?
