Library Map - How Generous Is Your Open Data?

Explore the challenges and opportunities of open data in this 16-minute conference talk from linux.conf.au 2021. Discover how Hugh Rundle built an interactive map of Australian public library services using open data from multiple sources. Learn about the questions raised during this process, including the purpose of open data, the management of data commons, and the accessibility of public data for ordinary users. Gain insights into creating interactive maps with public geodata and consider the balance between data maintenance and generous provision. Visit the resulting library map at https://librarymap.hugh.run to see the project in action.
