Mapping Events
Visualise live performance on a map
The Mapping Events service enables researchers to search, display and visually analyse information about live performance on a map. It introduces new cartographic capabilities to extend research applications of the AusStage dataset. It is one of three NeAT funded services developed by the Aus-e-Stage project.
The Mapping Events service has developed in two distinct phases.
- An Alpha version of the Mapping Events service was developed using Google Maps API Version 2. It is still available for reference.
- The Beta version of the Mapping Events service is the current version under ongoing development. It takes advantage of Google Maps API Version 3.
More information on the Mapping Events service is available in the Aus-e-Stage project Wiki including:
- Download Maps - Repository of map files for use with AusStage data in Google Earth, including historical maps and census data.
- Working with Maps - Information on how to create an overlay for use in Google Earth, how to convert MapInfo data to KML, and how to prepare an ABS overlay.
- Mapping Service API - Information on the API used to retrieve data for building a map on a web page and exporting data in the KML format.
- Mapping Service Feedback - Detail of user feedback received development processes.
- Mapping Service Consultancy - Documentation on the consultancy undertaken with the Archaeology Computing Laboratory at the University of Sydney.
