Publish your project with the new data publication module. nodegoat users can now select any project to generate a data publication that is web-accessible and downloadable as a ZIP-file. By generating a new publication a Project's data model and all of its data are published and archived. The publication remains accessible also when new publications are generated at a later stage.

Publications are stand-alone self-containing archives which include both the HTML-interface to the data model as well as all of its data in both JSON and CSV.

Publication of the 'Imagology' project of Joep Leerssen, see this page for more info and a public user interface

This new publish feature extends the existing data extraction and data publication options, i.e.: the export functionality, the API, and the public user interface.[....]

Map from the David Rumsey Map Collection, published as a IIIF image. The image has been georeferenced with the Allmaps editor, and the map tiles are generated by the Allmaps Tile Server. Click here to explore this interactive visualisation.

Thanks to the Allmaps project, it is now possible to use any map that has been published as a IIIF image as a background map in your geographic visualisations in nodegoat.

The International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) is a set of open standards for publishing digital objects, maintained by a consortium of cultural institutions. The list of institutions that publish their digitised maps as IIIF images is constantly growing. This overview provides a number of examples of available resources. The David Rumsey Map Collection also contains a large number of maps that have been published as IIIF images.

nodegoat Users have been able to use (historical) maps that are published as XYZ-tiles. We have now updated our Guide 'Use a Historical Map' to describe the steps you need to take to use IIIF images as a background map for your geographic visualisations in nodegoat. The Guide uses an example of a historical map published in the Digital Collections of Leiden University Libraries.
