Journals' map
La carte est optimisée pour tablettes et ordinateurs (min. 768px)
This site offers digital visual instruments to exploit the data inventoried in the Global Art and Cultural Periodicals database. The aim is to explicit the way in which critical and cultural journals reflect the situated circulation of ideas and persons on a global scale. The Journals’ map locates the 1007 journals in the base by mapping them according to their publishing location(s). It offers basic information and a link to the corresponding notice, as well as filters for the main subjects. It also makes it possible to display contemporary toponymy and borders as landmarks for a global space whose geopolitics have evolved over two centuries. In addition, individual notices as well as "collections" of journals have their own custom maps.
To create this map, which makes it possible to navigate geographically trhough sismo resources, several tools were used :
- AGORHA export of the journals' notices.
- geographic concept alignment with API GeoNames
- layer creation with QGIS
- creation of a .geojson file
- webmapping creation with leaflet.js
