Second price on the Flemish Government Hackathon!

Last Friday our team won the second price on the hackathon of the Flemish Government. This was achieved by combining several open data sources in a webmap and publishing the web map adding specific functionality. After the hackathon, a combination of the winning application (http://www.mijnlucht.be) was realized showing air quality for government offices. The applications that were developed live on that day using only 4 hours working time are shown below:

Historic map gallery

The historic map gallery below uses a new feature of ArcGIS.com: embedding several maps from one group. It enables the user a direct click through to the map from a thumbnail. To realise this, click on the share butten from the group.

Thermography of city of Ghent (Belgium)

In March 2010, the city of Ghent was thermographed during the night in order to show heat loss of rooftops. The data are made available through a website but also as a service which is combined here with the large scale basemap made available by the Flemish Government. Another interesting fact about this map is that has been published by a private portal for ArcGIS from the Flemish Government, not on arcgis.com.

Leuven 1649, historic map with modern legend...

Reviving a historic map by digitizing the old legend as map pins. This map has numbers on locations of public buildings, places and religious buildings which refer to a legend at the right op the map. On this web map the legend was redigitized as map pins on the map. Certain locations were also completed with a wikipedia picture and link to get more information on the item. The University town of Leuven has changed a bit in 400 years. It is remarkable on the map that most of the gullies around the town are shown as dry. This was probably a realistic situation since only the areas where the river Dyle is flowing in and out of town are shown with water. If you want to compare the old map with the current situation, this application shows you a synchronized view on both maps.
