Sažetak
Many uses of open data rely on being mapped. Because human activities are largely confined to the near-surface of the Earth, many open datasets would have far less impact without their spatial component. In this work we explore the following questions: Who produces and disseminates mapping visualisations based on open data? Were they created in-house or reproduced from other sources? What themes/topics and geographic extents are represented in the mapping visualisations? What types of cartographic methods (e.g., map type and visual variables) were used, and how successful were the methods used in moving beyond mere description and reporting to engaging and inspiring action. Answering these questions will shed light on current trends in open data visualisation and better illustrate the ways in which modern cartography can better engage and serve citizens through visualisation and communication.
