REGISTER March 3, 2017 - 1:30pm to 3:30pm Leader/Instructor Ben Lewis NON-HARVARD REGISTER The Center for Geographic Analysis is developing WorldMap (http://worldmap.harvard.edu/), an open source platform designed to encourage collaboration between researchers who need access to geospatial information. Despite the many ways in which research materials can now be accessed and shared across the web, the methods suitable for geospatial materials lag. The reasons are many and interconnected: 1) the sparse implementation of standards, 2) the size and complexity of geospatial datasets, 3) the lack... Read more about Worldmap Introduction
