CartoDB

CartoDB is an open source tool that allows for the storage and visualization of geospatial data on the web. See http://www.cartodb.com

Our own CartoDB server is at http://cartodb.e-ecology.cloudlet.sara.nl . Accounts can be made on request by s.verhoeven@esciencecenter.nl after being OK-ed by Willem Bouten.

Documentation for setup of CartoDB server can be found at https://github.com/NLeSC/eEcology-CartoDB

GPS tables

The following tables are available on the CartoDB server:

• gps.ee_species_limited
• gps.ee_individual_limited
• gps.ee_project_limited
• gps.ee_tracker_limited
• gps.ee_track_session_limited
• gps.ee_tracking_speed_limited

The tables have the same colums as described on https://services.e-ecology.sara.nl/wiki/index.php/DB_Views_2015

Tables with a location column have been made CartoDB compliant by

• Adding cartodb_id column, as primary key
• Adding the_geom_webmercator column
• Renaming the location column to the_geom column

Only data from the following projects is available on the CartoDB server:

• lbbg_texel
• hg_texel
• hb_veluwe
• ef_alegranza

The data is not synced.
