The Social Lives Of Maps: Interaction Design and Maps
Presented at IxDA New York, June 7 2012
The Social Lives of Maps
Peopleโs use of maps to research and navigate has been radically altered by the development and adoption of digital maps. Maps are no longer static print images. Instead, they are now dynamic and collaborative, as they have evolved in lockstep with the evolution of the Internet, from Mapquestโs launch in 1996 to the Web 2.0 enhanced Google Maps to the user content filled maps of Yelp.โจโจ
Understanding how maps can be utilized as tools, interfaces, and content is fast becoming part of the standard โtool kitโ of interaction designers. A static image or a link out to a map service may or may not be good enough due to raising expectations of the designerโs clients, employers, and people their designs serve. The new possibilities must also be balanced with the issues about privacy and security.โจโจ
This presentation explores how peopleโs behaviors with digital mappings intersect with the current developments in location-based services, crowdsourcing, open government, and the mobile web. For the practitioner, basic off-the-shelf mapping tools, APIs, and services are discussed.

Chapter 1 basic concepts
This document discusses geographic concepts related to maps, space, place, and scale. It defines key terms like space, place, and scale. It explains how geographers use maps to identify patterns, compare patterns, and provide information on locations. It also discusses cognitive maps, reference maps, thematic maps, and geographic information systems (GIS). GIS is described as a tool that enables the capture, storage, manipulation, retrieval, analysis and display of spatial data. Examples are given of how GIS is used in different fields.
Themating maping
A thematic map is a type of map that focuses on displaying information about a single theme or topic within a geographic area. Thematic maps emphasize specific distributions of phenomena, such as climate, population density, or other social, economic, or agricultural aspects. They show variations and relationships of geographic elements by using symbols instead of focusing on base map details. The purpose is to tell a story about places by mapping spatial patterns rather than just showing where locations are.

Library of Congress Subject Headings
The document discusses Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), including what they are, their history and development, how they are structured and used, and their pros and cons. Specifically, LCSH are the standard system for subject cataloging in US libraries, providing controlled vocabulary for subject indexing. They have evolved over time with contributions from Thomas Jefferson, Charles Cutter, and others, and are constantly updated. LCSH utilize hierarchical, equivalence, and associative relationships between terms. However, their syntax can be difficult for librarians and patrons to understand, and they do not always accurately represent subject matter.
