Thanks so much for the link. I haven’t seen that before. I notice they have a map for Portrait. I’m glad there’s not one for Dubliners yet. I’ll have to get that loaded up ASAP!

Your project sounds like a lot of fun and very fascinating! I actually don’t have any experience with the inner workings of GIS systems either, only the user interfaces and tools that allow non-experts like myself to make some purposeful maps. Like you, I hope to learn more from the diverse perspectives at Camp 🙂

I’ve got no GIS experience at all, but the kinds of data encoding/visualization you describe really resonates with a project I’ve been involved in. We’ve got old naturalists’ field notebooks–essentially a narrative with records of species sightings as the narrator moves in place and time–and are trying to extract GIS-ready maps of each species. The parallels to the movement of literary characters seems to my naive eyes to be quite close.

I doubt that I could contribute much as I’m a complete GIS new-comer, but I hope there’s enough interest for this session to make.
