"Mapping Humanities and Social Science Data"

Advance registration required; enrollment limited.

Contact: Caverlee Cary, cari@uclink.berkeley.edu.


Through the courtesy of the Geographic Information Science Center, the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) and ECAI Southeast Asia are offering a one day workshop in mapping cultural data for internet access.

The central elements of ECAI information technology architecture are the Metadata Clearinghouse and the TimeMap time-enabled GIS software. This “data clinic” is intended to help those with cultural data better understand how the use of these tools will enable mapping of their data, and will show the potential for integrating their project data with other data sets.

Damian Evans, of the Archaeological Computing Laboratory, University of Sydney where TimeMap was developed, will oversee the one-day Data Clinic. Kim Carl of ECAI will assist. The clinic will begin with a brief overview of the Metadata Clearinghouse, the process of registering metadata, and using TimeMap. Following this, assistance with registering and mapping your data will be available on an individual and group basis.

This Data Clinic is made possible at no cost to participants through the generous support of the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, the Pacific Rim Program, the Geographic Information Science Center, the Pacific Neighborhood Consortium, and the University of Sydney TimeMap project.
