Sharing historical maps and atlases in web appsAileen Buckley
Historical maps and atlases in print form are often difficult for large numbers of readers to find, access, and use. In this workshop, learn how to bring these valuable resources to life in web apps that not only provide users with access to the origin print content, but also add value through the user’s experience with the app. This workshop takes you step-by-step through a workflow for converting map collections and atlas content to a format that can be shared online. You’ll learn how to scan, georeference, and build metadata for the maps and atlas pages; how to convert the scanned map images to image services; and how to create a web app that gives users access to the scanned images and provides functionality for useful and engaging online map and atlas exploration.
This presentation gives a basic idea of GIS and its uses and different softwares commonly used. It also covers difference between vector and raster. General idea of projection is also covered.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. No!
• At least two 1-to-1 sets of data in
a single flat spreadsheet
– Assay
– Structure
• See ‘key’field comment below
• Split cells
– bad enough in headings
– disastrous in body of table
• Non-numeric data in numeric
column
– (- symbol)
• Alphanumeric numbers in non-
sortable format
– 225-1,….,225-11,….,23-1,…
– DDH23,…,DDH225,…
• No distinct key field for related
data
– Not critical, but desirable
4. Excel spreadsheet databases
• ‘Flat’ databases - Can only show 1:1 relationships
• Therefore need to include fields for all possibilities
• Thus get loads of empty space
E.g.:
All this empty space
(increases the file size – an
issue for very large databases All these fields are
needed just in case
there are 3 rocktypes,
joints, or samples at
the locn
Do not mix Remember Be consistent with Don’t put non-numeric Use sample numbers
numbers and somewhere to spelling within characters into numeric that identify the owner
characters in indicate datums fields: else can’t fields: interferes with and are sortable
locns (can’t and UTM zones query efficiently sorting and processing
(else may not be able to
sort data plot on a digital map)
easily)
5. What is a Database?
• Consist of:
– One or more Tables of basic data
• spreadsheet-like Fields (columns) and Records (rows)
• structured and populated following database ‘rules’
• e.g. Relational Databases:
– each Record can be uniquely identified within any one Table
– each Field contains the same Type of data (numeric,
alphanumeric, date, object, etc)
– Tables containing at least one of the same data columns can be
linked to one another as if they were a single large table
» Uses Relationship ‘rules’ between the linked Tables
– Queries: structured views of of the data, using selected fields
chosen from one or more Tables, linked together using the
relationships between the overlapping fields
6. Relational databases
• E.g. Microsoft Access, Oracle, etc
• Multiple tables (spreadsheets) for every 1-to-many
relationship
• Every Table has one or more Key field(s)
– Unique value (number or characters)
– May combine more than one field to form the Key
• Tables can be linked by their Key values in Queries
7. Relational Database
• Allows new temporary tables (Queries) to be formed by linking
separate 1-1 tables using their Key fields
• Tables:
Key Key Key
field field field
• Query ‘Table’:
– A temporary joining of fields from the three tables
9. Database design
• Poor design, even for a simple database, can lead to
unwarranted cleaning-up at a later stage
• Think carefully about how you are going to Query your
database - after all that’s why you are doing it
• Only include those fields that will be involved in
subsequent queries. The more fields you have, the more
time-consuming it is to enter data.
– in general, don’t try to produce all-inclusive databases
– databases tend to have a life that is limited to the project for which
they were designed and hence extra effort may be wasted
10. Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• GIS = Spatial relational databases
– i.e exactly the same as any other relational database (RDBS) except that at least
some of the Tables consist of entities with a geographic location
• Data can be displayed as a map as well as a spreadsheet-like table
– Separate Tables can be overlayed in map view as if they were a single map
• This is the heart of a digital map system
– Queries can link fields from different tables (as in any RDBS)
• but can also select data on geographic criteria
– such as ‘Show only the data where map objects overlap’
– Spatial Analysis of data is possible
• Thematic mapping
– Property distributions highlighted by colours, new symbols, contouring, etc
• Spatial numerical analysis
– spatial graphing
• Commonly used GIS software:
– ArcInfo; ArcView; MapInfo
11. GIS - Spatial Relational Database
• E.g. MapInfo, ArcView, ArcInfo
• In addition to normal fields, Tables can have an extra field (commonly
hidden) that contains geographic information about Geographic
objects in the Table
– Point, Line, Arc, Polyline, Polygon, Region, etc
• Geographic Information:
– Point location or Centroid location (if a polygon object)
– Perimeter
– Area
– Object contained on the left/right side of line
– Etc
• Location information is dependent on Datums and Projections
12. Map Datums
Earth is neither a sphere or a true ellipsoid
***Note: the latitude and longitude of a point on the earth depends on the datum used
13. WGS84-geoid
• WGS84-geoid (1996)
– NB: Geoid definitions vary with time due to:
• plate motions
• increasing precision of the grid and measurements used to define it
image source: National Geodetic Survey: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/images/ngs/jpeg-geo/ww15mgh.jpg
14. Datum Ellipsoids
• ‘Datum’, as generally used in GIS applications, refers
to both the location of the centre of the fitted ellipsoid
relative to the Earth (datum) and to the shape of the
ellipsoid
• Ellipsoid (spheroid) parameters:
a = semi-major axis (equator)
b = semi-minor axis (polar)
f= flattening = (a-b)/a
(as f is very small it is generally given as: b
1/f = inverse flattening = a/(a-b)
• Example: WGS84 ellipsoid a
– a = 6378137.0 metres
– b = 6356752.3142 metres
– 1/f = 298.257223563
15. Global geocentric datum
• Based on centre-of-mass of Earth
– but centre-of-mass varies with Plate motion
– therefore is date-dependent
• ITRF
– centre-of-mass datum computed annually
– uses GRS80 ellipsoid shape
• (Inverse flattening = 298.257222101)
• WGS84 Note that WGS84 uses the
– centre-of-mass datum defined for GPS by NIMA zero meridian as defined by
the Bureau International de
• (US National Imagery and Mapping Agency) l'Heure in Paris, based on a
mean of compiled star
– slight difference in ellipsoid flattening to GRS80 observations from different
• (Inverse flattening = 298.257223563) countries.
– centre revised periodically The WGS84 zero meridian is
102.5 metres east of the Prime
• last updated 2004 (valid until 2010) Meridian that passes through
– now close to ITRF Greenwich Observatory!
16. E.g Australian and International
Datums
• Australian
– Older imperial map datum
• Clarke ellipsoid GDA94 ≅ WGS84
– ‘Recent’ metric map datums
• AGD66
• AGD84
– Modern metric map datum
• GDA94
– based on ITRF1992
– fixed on 1/1/1994
• International
– >50 datums in local use
– e.g. USA
• NAD27
South America
• SAD69
17. Latitude/longitude are not unique
Latitude/longitude values of a point on the Earth depend
on the datum used to define latitude/longitude
The datum always needs to be specified
E.g:
• AGD66 to AGD84
difference: 2-3 metres
– important to geophysics
• AGD84 to GDA94
difference: ~200 metres
– important to everyone
18. Projections
• The algorithm used to project map data that has been
projected from the terrain onto the datum ellipsoid onto a
2D flat surface
– e.g polar stereographic projections
• e.g. as used for continental wander path reconstructions
• Most common map projection:
– Universal transverse mercator (UTM)
• Others
– conic, polyconic, gauss-kruger (similar to UTM), etc...
19. Mercator projection
• Mercator Projection
– Cylinder tangent to equator
• Transverse Mercator Projection
– Cylinder tangent to line of longitude
• Universal Transverse Mercator projections
– standard set of 120 projections around the globe
• 60 x 6º zones; separate definition of N & S
hemisphere
20. UTM projection
• Projection onto a cylinder tangent to a line of longitude
(‘Central Meridian’ and touching the equator at a point
Cylinder is unrolled to give 2D map
(only accurate close to the Central Meridian)
21. UTM zones
– 60 northern and 60 southern zones
Definition of UTM zones
Longitude of initial
central meridian (Zone 1) 177° W
Zone width 6°
Central Scale Factor 0.9996
False easting 500 000 m
False Northing
(S hemisphere) 10 000 000 m
UTM
22. Coordinate labels in databases
• Coordinate labels on spreadsheet or
database columns should indicate
the projection AND the datum PNT

07 298995 8098173 2
– In the example shown at top right 08 299000 8098096 2
it is a reasonable guess that the
projection is UTM – but what is
the datum?

02 298871 8097485 2
03 298909 8097512 2
– The example at lower right at least 20 298969 8097808 4
06 298987 8098281 2
indicates that, in this case, the 07 298995 8098173 2
UTM guess is correct, and the 08 299000 8098096 2
datum is Corrego Alegre
The UTM zone should also be
referenced somewhere
