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 e-ecology gps.ee*limited tables are available on the CartoDB server. The tables available are the same as on https://services.e-ecology.sara.nl/wiki/index.php/DB_Views_2015, but with following changes to tables with a location column:

  • Added cartodb_id column, as primary key
  • Added the_geom_webmercator column
  • Renamed location column to the_geom column

Only data from the gull projects is available on the CartoDB server. The data is not synced.
