This document discusses open source tools for graph and map visualization. It begins with an agenda that includes open source graphs, maps, and demos of the AklaBox and Thermolabo platforms. It then covers various open source mapping tools like OpenStreetMap, and charting/graphing tools like FusionCharts, JFreeChart, Google Charts, and Birt Chart. Statistical graphing tools like R, Weka, and R Shiny are also mentioned. The document demonstrates some maps and graphs as examples. It concludes with discussions of how AklaBox and Thermolabo integrate graphs and maps and how Thermolabo is transforming temperature monitoring data into valuable decision information.

7. Open Source Maps - OpenStreetMap
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative
project to create a free editable map of the
world. Two major driving forces behind the
establishment and growth of OSM have been
restrictions on use or availability of map
information across much of the world and the
advent of inexpensive portable satellite
navigation devices.
Created by Steve Coast in the UK in 2004, it
was inspired by the success of Wikipedia and
the preponderance of proprietary map data in
the UK and elsewhere

8. Open Source Maps – OpenStreetMap Advantage
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
Free: Unlike others, OSM (acronym of OpenStreetMap) is licensed under Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 (CC BY-SA) which allows almost anything on the information
(download, copy, modify, include it in other projects) as long as indicating the respective
credits to the author.
Full: Actually no mapping service has 100% of the planet’s geographic information.
However, OSM is constantly updated through collaboration of companies, government
institutions and the wider community that often send information of new locations or
corrections of the existing ones. This allows the service to have more precise information of
places that are poorly known. Unlike Google Maps that focuses on detailing the information
of the major cities.
Without restrictions: In services like Google Maps you must pay to use the service when the
access traffic is high, while in OSM access is provided free and without any restrictions.
Standard: OSM uses the standard EPSG: 4326, one of the most currently used in
cartography.

9. Open Source Maps – OpenStreetMap Advantage
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
Customizable: OSM is a service, and as such, it may be used by third party applications for
customization. Currently there are APIs like Openlayers (Implemented in JavaScript) that
allows you to create web applications using the OSM service, providing a rich set of
functionality (set markers on the map, labels, overlapping layers, widgets, popups, among
many other elements that can be seen on the website of examples).
Fast: Even sometimes it gives the impression that its loading is faster than Google Maps.
Stable: Backed by the University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London (ILC)
where the main servers stay. They also have distributed servers around the world to meet
demand of users in a reliable and robust way.
Effective: The group of developers are constantly working on adding new features to the
service.

10. Open Source Maps – OpenStreetMap, to be improved
https://www.openstreetmap.org/
Documentation: The official documentation is not complete and not very clear. Many times
we must search in forums and blogs to understand some functionality.
Incompatibility: Some users have reported OSM erroneous behavior when it is used in
conjunction with other tools. For example: Maps are displayed distorted when OSM is used
with Twitter Bootstrap. However, this bug is easy to fix (we will share the solution in another
article later).

Road definition, using Google Maps in parallel
Problem with street naming (some meters of
difference)
Problem with Google Maps Api : like 100m or 500m
of difference (still accurate ?)

28. Context
The demand of temperature monitoring services is
growing worldwide.
Thermo-sensitive medicines: 30% of new launches VS 5% 10 years ago.
Globalisation: Flow complexity. Cold chain logistic services market is
expected to expand from US$ 7.3 billion in 2013 to nearly US$ 11.4 billion by
2018. (+56%)*
Legislation: Revised EU guidelines introduce rules for transport to ensure
that customers should be provided with a temperature data to demonstrate
that products remained within the required temperature conditions.
Market Pressure: Pharma companies need to provide the necessary
evidence of the integrity of their products. Extension to “ambient” products.
*Research and Markets / ”Global Healthcare Cold Chain Logistics Market Report & Forecast (2013-2018)"

29. We support Qualified Persons, Directors of
Quality and/or Logistics who want to
demonstrate their compliance with regards to
their obligation of temperature traceability
during transportation of healthcare products.
