How to plot a SDMX dataset on a map?
« on: December 19, 2011, 06:35:23 AM »
Has anyone tried to plot a SDMX dataset on a map? If yes, how did you spatially map the data?

We are thinking of adding a spatial annotation like "Well-known text" to codes in codelists which can be geo-referenced. Doing so, the SDMX dataset can be formally geo-referenced by the spatial system through the DSD. Any feedback on this approach is welcome.

This was done by one of the entrants to the "ABS Codeplay" competition run by the Australian Bureau of Statistics last year.
The entrant was able to dynamically put UIS SDMX information into a world map.

You can find some more information and the source code here: http://groups.google.com/group/abs-codeplay/browse_thread/thread/fafb738060449edc

Hope this helps.
