Modeling Spatio-Temporal Networks with CHGIS Lex Berman 贝明远 CHGIS, Harvard University 2 nd Intl Workshop on Monies, Markets & Finance in East Asia Ruhr-University Bochum 4 – 6 th Oct 2007
2
Funded By: Henry R. Luce Foundation (2001 – 2004) National Endowment for the Humanities (2005 – present)
3
placename admin unit, populated place, natural feature, religious site, archaeological site, trade route, place where an event occurred, etc feature type city, village, mountain, temple, ruin, trade route, etc footprint latitude and longitude for each feature source note citation of data source, commentary on feature valid date date or range of time for which this record is valid core elements of a digital gazetteer
4
placename feature type coordinates valid date source note spatial objects digital gazetteerGIS layers CHGIS = gazetteer database + GIS layers
5
scope: a base GIS of Chinese admin divisions 222 BCE 秦始皇 1911 CE 清宣统 POINT Features: National Capitals Province Capitals Prefecture Capitals County Capitals Towns & Villages POLYGON Features: National & Regime Boundaries Province Boundaries Prefecture Boundaries 1911 County Boundaries
6
Reference layer: 1820 Qing Dynasty
7
Digitization process: maps scanned
8
Digitization process: town points entered
9
Digitization process: boundary entered
10
Comparison of historic map with CHGIS data
11
Example: Shandong 1911 county boundaries
12
Example: Shandong with Town points
13
Currently complete 1911 county boundaries
14
Time Slice data = specific year of validity
15
Data Model Name Change Unit Change Location Change Time Series = instances with ranges of time
16
Time Series in GIS layers
17
Time Series current progress
18
CHGIS – Version 4 datasets
19
Buddhist temple gazetteer sources Da Qing yitongzhi. [Qing National Gazetteer] Yajima, Genryo. Chugoku no ji’in. [Temples of China] Tōhoku Daigaku Fuzoku Toshokan, 1966. [1941]
20
Da Qing yitongzhi (Yitongzhi) page from Yitongzhi
21
Chugoku no ji’in (Yajima Index)
22
Comparison of contents - Yitongzhi & Yajima
23
georeferencing temple records, Yajima sites
24
georeferencing temple records, CHGIS tables
25
georeferencing temple records, map view
26
overview of temple locations
27
density of temples at each location
28
Example: Song tax statistics
29
Example: Mongolian Administration over time
31
Example: distribution of ceramic kilns
32
Associating data values with polygon features select area of interest convert to “shapefile”
33
join new data values to GIS attribute table export attribute data for focus area to TEXT file add a new column to the TEXT file enter new values in the new column, then REJOIN to original GIS focus area shapefile
34
Thematic map based on new data values create chloropleth map based on your data
35
Thiessen polgyons generated from points center points + outer boundary Thiessen Polygons based on points aggregation of Thiessen boundaries
36
population distribution – normalized by area
37
Thiessen polygons compared with natural features DEM backgroundMale Population (1820) normalized by area
38
Mapping and animation of locations over time - Life of Ouyi Zhixu
39
table of events with known dates & table of locations
40
checking and correction of possible locations
41
Addition of paths of movement between locations for each event
42
Animation of points for each event, and paths of movement
43
