Week 5: Lab Assignment

Embedded within this post is the link to my map and a link to CSV spreadsheet. This project helped me find the compass points through the power of web mapping exercises for digital humanities. Although the ability to picture spatial information not only increases adequate cognition faster and more efficiently, it is also a way to open new avenues and paths leading to other areas and fields that used to be unavailable. By analogy, the map ensures visualization data using symbology, labeling, and popups. The map is informative and entertaining as numbers data are apparent, or missing patterns can be visualized. Nevertheless, as we become aware of how handy web mapping is in DH and becomes a dynamic tool for data visualization and exploration, it will now become an active tool. It streamlines the process of getting complicated content across to more significant sections of society with relevant awareness. What is interesting is that operating with ArcGIS Online is very easy, and the fact that this platform has so many available tools that DH can use proves that ArcGIS Online is very powerful. Its capability not only to integrate a broad spectrum of datasets but also to overlay UDI info on maps along with simple sharing possibilities stands out here the most in the field of applications.

  1. I totally agree! I am excited that we got to learn about mapping and the customization available within it that makes mapping so accessible to not only researchers but also viewers, such as our exploration using the New York Times Squirrel Map. I’d be interested to see what other tools could be integrated into maps like these.
