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 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.
