CartoDB

CartoDB makes data-driven map visualisation tool. It's very easy to upload a couple of spreadsheets of data, with latitudes and longitudes or addresses, and turn them into clickable markers on maps. There are several types of pre-canned visualisation, such as categories, choropleths or even animated "torque" maps. It's also a sophisticated platform allowing complex visualisations to be built up using Javascript and the CartoDB API.

GeoRSS

Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS feeds. GeoRSS was designed as a lightweight, community driven way to extend existing feeds with geographic information. As RSS and Atom become more prevalent as a way to publish and share information, it becomes increasingly important that location is described in an interoperable manner so that applications can request, aggregate, share and map geographically tagged feeds.RSS Map of Digital Humanities centers Two primary GeoRSS encoding exist, including GeoRSS Geography Markup Language (GML) and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS-Simple is a lightweight format that supports basic geometries of point, line, box, polygon. GeoRSS GML is a Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features than GeoRSS Simple.

DataTank

The DataTank is an open source tool that publishes data, stored in text-based files (e.g., CSV, XML, JSON) or in binary structures (e.g., SHP files, relational databases). The DataTank reads data from these structures and publishes them to the web using a URI as an identifier, providing these data in any format a user wants regardless of the original data structure. The DataTank requires a server with Apache2 or Nginx, mod rewrite enabled, PHP 5.4 or higher, Git, any database supported by Laravel 4. Features Turn any dataset into a RESTful HTTP API Allows published data to be requested in any web-readable format or visualization Improves the ease, openness, and transparency of data consumption Enables data consumers to immediately begin working, without needing to download raw data files Provides visualizations for immediate data interpretation and information gathering by civilians Resources The DataTank demo Documentation GitHub

MapHub

Maphub is a web portal for georeferencing and annotating digitized historic maps. Georeferencing transforms the map image to align with real world geographic coordinates, while the annotations are overlaps plus notes. Maphub suggests possible tags for the annotation based on its text and location; tags link to related Wikipedia articles. Once created, user-contributed annotations are shared via the Maphub Open Annotation API. A first prototype of Maphub, using digitized maps from the Library of Congress’ Map Division, can be found at http://maphub.herokuapp.com/.

myHistro

Visualizes a series of events across both time and space. Allows researcher to create of an interactive timeline and map that are linked together. Users of the timeline can press "play" to watch the timeline scroll forward and the map zoom from place to place as they highlight each event (and the researcher's attached images and text) in turn. Users can also pause the progress of history, move forward or back at their own pace, and zoom in or out of either the map or timeline to examine areas of interest. Compare to: StoryMap JS, MapStory, Odyssey.js
