Explanatory Note

This site is a prototype of MapWeaver, a potential web application that is being developed by Field Cady. There are many datasets in the world where the data is associated with physical locations, but no tool exists that shows those locations on a map. This is especially the case with a lot of government datasets, where they are mandated to make the data available but not required to make it intuitive.

MapWeaver is a framework for plotting such datasets on a map. You can have one dataset or several (with color-coded markers), and apply different filters to each. It can be publicly available datasets or ones that are internal to your organization. Depending on the datasets you use you can answer questions like:

The possibilities are endless, and all it takes is pointing and clicking on a map.

Below is a prototype of MapWeaver, showing water quality violations in Washington state for the past year (from the PARIS dataset). The goal is to show you the interface and get you thinking about the possibilities with datasets that are relevant to your industry. Bear in mind that the production version would have more features and be prettier; this is intended as a proof of concept. If this looks intriguing, or if you have feedback, Field can be reached at field.cady@gmail.com. Thank you for your input!
