We can make this file beautiful and searchable if this error is corrected: It looks like row 6 should actually have 9 columns, instead of 7. in line 5.

A web maps primer

#A web maps primer

I was invited to the National Library of Colombia's 2nd Digital Book Week as a speaker and to give a workshop on digital mapping tools. I thought it would be useful to share that workshop since it encompasses a lot of different processes and tools that make digital cartography today very accessible. It is a primer on working with various free web mapping tools so you can make your own awesome maps.

##TL;DR You will make [this][result]. This tutorial assumes you have a digitized map and some data you want to overlay on it. The general steps covered are:

  1. geo-referencing the scanned map so that web tiles can be generated
  2. generating GeoJSON data to be overlaid
  3. creating a custom base map (to serve as reference/present day)

Del papel a la web: haz tus propios mapas interactivos.

Esta es una traducción de “From Paper Maps to the Web: A DIY Digital Maps Primer” realizada por Daniela Schütte, coordinadora del proyecto Memoria Chilena de la Biblioteca Nacional de Chile.

NOTA: hay terminología que debe mantenerse en inglés puesto que así debe escribirse en el código.

En noviembre del 2014, fui invitado a la 2a semana del libro digital organizado por la Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia. La idea era presentar los proyectos que estamos desarrollando en el NYP Labs y también, dictar un taller sobre herramientas para geolocalización de mapas. Pienso que puede ser útil compartir los contenidos de ese taller, ya que integra diversas herramientas y procesos que permiten que la cartografía digital sea, hoy en día, ac
