How to Read and Use GeoD
Visual Coding
-
White circles: publishers. Pink circles: published news content.
-
Yellow lines connect publishers with the content that they published. Lines are tinted white towards publishers and red towards content.
-
Green haze represents areas densely covered by news in this corpus.
Checkboxes in Settings
-
Weighted radius: If it is checked, the radii of pink circles vary according to the count. The more an object is mentioned, the bigger its circle is.
-
Geocodable content: If unchecked, pink circles disappear.
-
Lines to publishers: If unchecked, yellow lines disappear.
-
Corpus density heatmap: If uncheked, the green haze disappears.
User Interface and Interaction
-
Navigation: You can navigate the geographical footprint of creative swarms of ideas by entering an ID number and pressing the enter key or clicking the 'Submit' button. The ID numbers are arbitrary. It is also possible to navigate across the axes sequentially with 'Prev' and 'Next' buttons.
-
Geocoded content: This section shows a list of geocoded news content belonging to the selected creative swarm of ideas. The number next to each item is the absolute count of that item in the news. You can check the actual locations of the titles on the map by clicking on the text.
-
Keywords: This section shows a list of keywords of a selected dissemination axis.
-
Mouse interaction on the map: To zoom in or out, use the mouse wheel or the +/- zoom buttons. If you mouseover a pink circle, a marker with an info window will appear and they will be hidden when mouse out. It is possible to prevent the marker and the info window from disappearing by clicking the circle.
