A Tool for Exploratory Research
I suitable research context
I exploration of datasetsI visualization / distant reading let emerge patterns within data
I suitable if
I data are in KML formatI data have both time and space information attached to them
I KML allows for export of data from various sources intogeo-browser
I preparation of data is part of research processI needs to be informed by research questions
Limes :: Places (Gazetteer)
Limes :: Publications (Zenon)
Limes :: Research Questions
I which publications are related to a given place?
I what are the most/least studied places?
I how studies about the Limes developed over time?
I . . .
Mashable Data
I logic:
I get Limes places from Gazetteer (filter by tag)I for each place fetch related publications from ZenonI keep only places having 1 (or more) publicationsI display publications on map:
I space: Limes place they related toI time: publication date
I interoperable infrastructure
I RESTful APIs / JSONI shared identifiers for
I place namesI subject headings

Limes :: Gazetteer & Zenon mashup
permalink
1980s: 12 publications
1990s: 158 publications
Conclusions
I exploratory research
I visualization not useful in itself. . .I . . . only if it helps us to answer/formulate new research
questions
I serendipity through data visualization
I mashable data
I variety of formats for import/exportI importance of access to data via APIsI use of common/shared identifiers to link resources
I share
