Making Your First Map from Mapbox.
From the webpage:
Regardless of your skill level, we have the tools that allow you to quickly build maps and share them online in minutes.
In this guide, we’ll cover the basics of our online tool, the Mapbox Editor, by creating a store location map for a bike shop.
A great example of the sort of authoring interface that is needed by topic maps.
Hmmm, by the way, did you notice that “…creating a store location map for a bike shop” is creating an association between the “bike shop” and a “street location?” True, Mapbox doesn’t include roles or the association type but the role players are present.
For a topic map authoring interface, you could default the role of location for any geographic point on the map and the association type to be “street-location.”
The user would only have to pick, possibly from a pick list, the role of the role player, bike shop, bar, etc.
Mapbox could have started their guide with a review of map projections, used and theoretical.
Or covered the basics of surveying and a brief overview of surveying instruments. They didn’t.
I think there is a lesson there.
