Development workbook 2018 - DigitalCommons/open-data-and-maps GitHub Wiki

This page contains notes about the current development work. This is more of a dumping ground in order to organize thoughts than a reference document.

Goals

We want software and processes that can achieve the following:

• Make it easy to publish LOD sets
• Use the same core map-app software to power online maps, but allowing map-specific functionality to be implemented for some specific maps
• Expand the use of ESSGLOBAL (and other vocabs, as needed) beyond the very basic use to which it was put for the co-ops-uk 2016 dataset.
• Publish co-ops-uk 2017 and 2018 data sets

Co-ops UK data

Steps:

• Decide on URIs for 2017 data
• Create LOD using these URIs
• Deploy LOD so that it is dereferencable
• Deploy LOD to triplestore with SPARQL endpoint
• Display 2017 data on a map-app
• Enhance LOD to incorporate new predicates (i.e. new data 'fields')

map-app

Outline requirements for the map-app:

• Ability to load data from more than one dataset
• Application-specific displays (e.g. what you see when you click on a map icon)
• Application-specific branding (e.g. logos and stylesheets, icons)
• Filtering - general mechanisms (no filtering exists in the current (2017) version of the map-app)
• Application-specific filtering
• Make map-app work well on common devices (e.g. Responsive design)
• System to build differently-configured versions of map-app
