The objective is to use some of the techniques that are presented in class to present some type of geographical data in an interesting and innovative way. Usually, this will involve some type of interaction or animation with maps through a web page. It could also involve the production of a CD-ROM, especially if the files are larger. An example of a web map project is Chris Poulsen's Omaha Election Page . This was not done for a class but it represents an example of the way maps can be presented on a web page.
Interaction is incorporated through the hypertext links.
Other types of interaction and animation would also be possible with these maps. One of the problems with any project is identifying and acquiring the data. There are a number of sources of data for both Omaha and Nebraska. We will investigate both CD-ROM and Web sources. Some types of data may not be available in either form.
