  1. The LL-MAP Project Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  2. LL-MAP Project • 3-year project • Funded by National Science Foundation • Organized with GISLI (U. of Stockholm) • Six other founding partners: • PARADISEC • Alaska Native Language Center • Tibetan Himalayan Digital Library • MPI-EVA • Arienne Dwyer of Kansas U • Randy LaPolla of La Trobe U Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  3. Goals • Use GIS to combine language information with information from other sciences • Provide accurate information on language distribution, particularly for lesser-known languages • Stimulate new scientific insights via novel combinations of data • Provide an informational resource for students, educators, & the general public Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  4. Immediate Objectives • Create core project: • Organize and serve the resources contributed by project partners • Develop standards and procedures to make the facility extensible to other projects and archives • Create space and tools for scholars to use project data and contribute more Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  5. Content (1) • Information on topography, flora, fauna… • Language Information • a) Speaker distribution (what is traditionally considered language mapping) • b) Language facts (writing systems, number of speakers, etc.) • c) Language resources (grammars, lexicons, audio & video, etc. Here the map will simply be an interface to the metadata) Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  6. Content (2) • Speaker distribution (a) • shp files, etc., or georeferenced text data made into shp files. • displayed as maps • Language Facts (b) • georeferenced text data • displayed as feature attributes (through “data browser’) • may be merely links—don’t want to duplicate efforts elsewhere • Language resources (c) • metadata (suggestion is to use OLAC as conduit) • map will be simply an interface to the metadata • metadata displayed as attributes through data browser Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  7. Aggregation / Collection • For projects with web services • LL can provide an aggregation service based on OpenGIS protocols • Protocols allow LL-Map to choose layers from wms servers across the world and combine them with LL-MAP layers • For projects w/o web services, e.g., individual linguists • LL can provide online geodata collection facilities (producing image files) • Can establish migration path for text data Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  8. Commitments • To share all unrestricted data with our partners • An argument for the web services model • Those projects with wms / wfs services could aggregate from the LL-MAP service in return • To saliently credit data sources • To provide assistance with data preparation during the project period • To maintain the site and software (including administrative software) after the end of the project Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  9. Project Interface • Website will have two main areas: • Public area • Scholar’s workbench • Login as • Guest scholar • Resident scholar • Website will also support administrative functions (login required) • Review area where Advisory Board can approve / disapprove maps and data for public display • Admin area where designated staff can accept / decline requests to become resident scholars Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  10. Public Area • Users can • Combine layers to create new map displays • Perform queries & view table data • View / print maps • Download map images (raster data) Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  11. Scholar’s Workbench Scholars can • Add their own data • Draw polygons & points • Add Attributes (text data) • Combine their layers with LL-MAP layers • View / print maps • Save their project information on the site • Guest scholars: 3 weeks • Resident scholars: 1 year • Make project available to other scholars (in Scholar’s Workshop) • Submit to Advisory Board for inclusion in public interface Max Planck Institute, Leipzig

  12. Interface • LINGUIST List Development server • Google Interface • ESRI interface for advanced work http://linguistlist.org/llmapdev/ Please use Explorer 7! Max Planck Institute, Leipzig
