BerkeleyMapperMagic #5597
Comments
I think that reservemapper is vertebrate only despite saying "The Map of
Life species checklist search looks at the centerpoint of the selected
area's bounding box and searches in a 2km radius from that point for all
species."
with "all species" = <1% of known species.
But I'd love to be able to explore various layers eg climate with Arctos
data in a few clicks!

- Arctos' spatial tools have performance issues (ArctosDB/internal#222

- Arctos doesn't have a great mechanism for adding spatial data anyway
- Arctos' assertable spatial data is standardized (GADM and IHO) so
completely portable
- I don't think most users really understand how the spatial data
works, having a text tag ("Yosemite National Park") would serve almost all
search needs
BerkelyMapper is a spatial-centric system, has tons of fun data (
https://reservemapper.berkeley.edu/?layers=%22cpad%2FFederal%2FUnitedStatesNationalParkService%22&title=United%20States%20National%20Park),
and I believe could solve all (!) of our spatial problems by setting up a
very simple service which accepts a polygon (or even point-radius, but that
would be a rough approximation for some records) and returns whatever can
be inferred (as strings). The absolute basic ("Yosemite National Park")
would serve most purposes, anything beyond that (climate, landowner,
habitat, type of intersection, etc., etc.) would be icing.
Possible? Trivial?

my bad - seems they do include inverts & plants!

I don't care about that part of their data (but Arctos could contribute to it), I just want to pass in a splotch on a map and get back landowner (NPS) and feature (Denali National Park) and state and county-level-thingee and island and waterbody and municipal park (and are dogs allowed?) and mean annual rainfall averaged across the area I passed in and min and max elevation and soil type and vegetation and slope and aspect and permafrost depth and .... - spatial stuff! (And I'd settle for state and county, at least to get started.) I don't expect them to have all that data on hand, but I do expect they can accommodate you showing up with some interesting spatial data better than Arctos can, or will ever be able to. That would result in... .. that thing being more current, having a few more options, and maybe-eventually being a little more complex - you could use those strings to find things collected near dog-friendly parks (plus state and county and such). Passing your results (whether you use spatially-derived data to find them or not) off to some BetterBerkeleyMapper where you can visualize your records in the context of mean July high temperatures and proximity to County-owned landfills (or whatever - spatial stuff!) would be another Issue (and I think that's in the works - right @mkoo ?). |
