Data Presentation Design and Geospatial Information Delivery
•
1 like•449 views
The document discusses data presentation and geospatial data. It covers experimenting with new applications of existing technology, focusing on the medium and context of use when presenting data. It also discusses issues with representing locations and polygons with single points (centroids) and the need for problem maps that show meta-level understandings rather than just algorithms. The document advocates for an iterative design process focused on the user experience.

Editor's Notes
- Concordia library An experiment
- -Out of work, 9/11, recession -City of world class complexity -Unique printing process, used only for promotional purposes. Tech improved, applied in novel ways
- Note lawsuit
- Forget about the substrate
- Reuse/repurpose digital assets for another medium
- Savory or sweet? Data on its own has little value. There’s a lot of it out there
- -GPS, cell id, wifi, hybrid geolocation tools -When: KML supports this, eventful, upcoming, zvents, meetup -attribute: data ain’t nothing w/o context- arms race in imagery, but utility of eye candy is limited- we need to know when museum is open, where to enter, price of admission. We know this, but it’s not integrated with pictures. -Community defines the data -National mapping agencies are stifling us
- What data do we want, when and how? Streetcorner w phone diff than 34th fl of acme bldg A framework. Allows for segmentation by use intent
- Do we know how certain we are? Depends on devices, neccessity
- What to do with a dataset in the middle? Who is the arbiter, the authority? UMI Urbanware--no clear standard. Let’s make one Taxonomy - administrative, political, standardized Folksonomy - User generated, collaborative, tagged
- Complex polygon to circle Is the user aware? Product manager?
