Mock Data for Visualization #22
Description
We're having trouble deciding amongst ourselves what we are trying to show to people. To move the project out of this rut, I propose we invent some layers of data to practice visualizing. I'm imagining a bitmap of soil types, drawn in mspaint, a list of farms along with their characteristics (wealth, pesticide policy...?) written up in Excel, a bitmap of habitat ranges for each of several species (butterflies, coyotes, ....? what lives in southern Ontario anyway?) also drawn in paint, and a set of shapefiles giving road networks, farm boundaries, maybe distances to abbatoirs, processing plants, cities capes, abattoirs? I guess our first step will be to rough in what we thint
the important datasets are, before we try to create them.
@tcstewar, @bruzen, @n7wilson and @vchynarov, do you have time this weekend? I am done exams Saturday 3pm, so I am going to be working on this then,so at our work session on on Monday we can give Mark and @hala87 tangible requirements to apply their info design skills to. Kirsten and Nathan have been thinking the most about this, so I will be reams more effective with at least you two there to bounce ideas.
