Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia: Advanced Techniques and Big Data

该项目的目的是通过具有空间和时间坐标的大型数据集提供的视角更好地了解澳大利亚的历史和文化。为此，该项目旨在建立开放访问的基础设施，以创建和分析大型时空数据集，并提供新的地图层，作为多个研究项目的背景。用户将能够将时空数据集作为动态系统处理，并用它们创建多层地图。其好处是，利用数字地图和通往大数据的清晰路径，将结构化空间和时间数据与传统人文见解和方法相结合的高端项目，显著提高了人文科学研究的便利性。

The aim of the project is to understand Australian history and culture better through the perspective afforded by large data sets with spatial and temporal coordinates. To this end the project aims to build open-access infrastructure to create and analyse large spatio-temporal data sets, and to provide new map layers to serve as context for multiple research projects. Users would be able to deal with spatio-temporal data sets as dynamic systems and create multi-layered maps with them. The benefits would be a marked increase in the ease of humanities research using digital mapping and clear pathways to big data, high-end projects combining structured space and time data with traditional humanities insights and approaches.
