Purpose of the Project Offer online mapping support, resources, skills and teaching to the group in hopes of achieving their ultimate goal of producing a Heritage Trail Map – website The Age Advantage Community Project is about intergenerational learning that allows for passionate community members to work with students to develop GIS skills Facilitate transition of data platforms & the continuation of Prototype Website
- 7. Project Objectives ArcGIS Online will be used to share, examine and analyze geographic data pertaining to Annapolis County. Objective 1: Consultation with Age Advantage Association Objective 2: Instruction of ArcGIS Software with Group members Objective 3: Data Preparation & Organization Objective 4: Configuration of Protoype Website Objective 5: Development of documentation for future project goals
- 8. Objective 1 – Consultation Consultation with Age Advantage Association Understanding the needs of the association & their vision for the future What Is a Shortlist Application? A type of Story Map that can organize points of interest in a fun & colourful way Web template each tab defines a point layer & allows navigation of tabs to find information Placed on a free web hosting server to share with group members & the public Original Shortlist Web Application Vision of having a website Very early prototype
- 10. Objective 2 – Instruction of ArcGIS Software Educate community members on how to work with data in ArcGIS Online Getting comfortable & understand the ArcGIS platform Reference documentation & material Hands on experience via tutorial sessions The members provided the data: County of Annapolis records
- 11. Objective 3 – Data Preparation Received numerous CSV files Had to format the data to be compatible with Shortlist Application Some fields are required & others are optional Required: Number Title Image_URL Latitude & Longitude Optional: Short_Desc Desc1-Desc5 Website Address Telephone • The CSV files will populate the Pop-Up Window & dictate the style of the Pop-Up
- 12. Objective 4 – Configuration Redefine developed web application prototypes based on feedback from group consultation Involved configuration of the following: Attribute information (i.e. pop-up window) Web design & layout (colour) Symbology
- 13. Attribute Information – Pop-up Window Early prototypes, the attribute information had no context Figure 1 Figure 2 Easy alternative to headings to be present in the pop-up window
- 14. Web Design & Layout Members have the ability to change the layout of the Shortlist Application Customize the layout via custom.css file Location of custom css file Index.html website Figure 1 Figure 2
- 15. Results of Configuration Original Prototype
- 16. Symbology – Custom Symbols COGS Student Andrew Crowe & community members created customized symbols to represent the numerous cemeteries, Pre- Confederation & Post-Confederation Properties within the County Pre-ConfederationCemeteries Post-Confederation
- 17. Objective 5 – Documentation Creation of documentation to help guide the Age Advantage Association to understand ArcGIS Online Understand how to implement & use the Shortlist Application Clear and concise for the members to continue to build their vision of mapping & sharing information Platform to provide the steps needed to organize, store, manage and display data in the Esri virtual world

Editor's Notes
- Introductions of self & Ed
- 1 – In this case, Age Adv is a great group who is devoted to learning and expanding heritage 4 – In this case, Age Adv is two main groups who are tackling different areas. Tourism v Heritage.
- 1 – Age Adv obtained a lot of information from Heritage Soc. - Non-Prof Org devoted to culture & genealogy of the county 2 - Student projects fall & spring terms 2- Donated Maps. 14 heritage maps from Walter K. Morrison Collection at COGS, have been geo-referenced. 3/4 – Members were at COGS last week and met with Age Adv Assn. Presentation from Savannah
- READ SLIDE After Mandate – Great collaborative approach that ties in education, preservation, research and advocacy of heritage.
- 1— Interested in learning ArcGIS Online and take advantage of its functionality 3 – Annapolis Royal group has been actively working with ArcGIS Online Bridgetown Heritage Group has been using Google Maps. Main goal is to help the Bridgetown Heritage Society get one step closer to understanding the ArcGIS Online platform.

- READ SLIDE
- 3 - Assn was exploring the possibility of having a website & using arcGIS to correctly display their data INTRO PROTOTYPE
- 1- Get Assn members to feel comfortable with feature layers, Adding/editing points, 2- Big part of project was to create documentation for the group for future reference
- Required v Optional fields – BOUND by fields. --these data fields will populate the attribute information in the details pop up window
- READ SLIDE
- In early prototypes the attribute information had no context to them- after group consultation the members insisted that support headings were needed for individuals to understand this data. This can be seen in figure 1 The easy alterative for headings to be in the pop up window was to introduce the group to HTML tags.. This will allow the group to have bold headings without being stressed about configuring the java script that the shortlist application reads. This can be seen in figure 2
- - allows members to change colours, font size, add banners to make the application visually appealing. - allow the user to easily configure the web application without going into the original programming code. - The location of the custom css file is referenced in the shortlist’s index.html file
- ORIG v CONFIG VERSION
- Symbology is stored as part of the shortlist application and referenced in the java script & index.html
- Esri changes every few months– always learning --documentation not set in stone—but will as a great guide for them We are going to be writing as well as editing previous documentation regarding the steps needed to organize, store, manage and display the data in the Esri virtual world Understand how to implement & use the Shortlist Application More information Clear and concise for the members to continue to build their vision of mapping & sharing information Platform for future students, faculty and community members Provide the steps needed to organize, store, manage and display data in the Esri virtual world
- The group’s initial idea was to have all post and pre confederation properties on one map. However, after numerous discussion, group members decided on creating multiple maps based on post and pre confederation properties organized by communities. The Annapolis Royal group was interested in creating a map that highlights the services and amenities within the municipality. A few GEOS students were actively mapping heritage wharves in Annapolis Royal. Now we have the pleasure of introducing Rick Davenport who was working closely with the Annapolis royal members and its associated data
