Nouveaux regards cartographiques sur la mondialisation La mondialisation lance de nombreux défis à la représentation cartographique. On pourra citer, sans prétendre à l'exhaustivité, l'interrogation sur la projection cartographique pour restituer les multipolarités du Monde, sur les découpages pertinents (États, continents) pour en rendre compte, sur la représentation des interdépendances dans des dynamiques multiscalaires aux temporalités différenciées. Du local au global ou vice-versa, les enchevêtrements d'échelles et les intégrations différenciées, tant de degré que de nature, ont-ils conduit à saisir autrement ce processus majeur de l'organisation du monde contemporain ? Quelles sont les limites et les atouts de la représentation cartographique de la mondialisation ? Cette journée de réflexion a été l'occasion d'un échange entre les producteurs de cartes, cartographes et chercheurs, le monde des usagers – enseignants, élèves, citoyens, étudiants – et les milieux de diffusion de la carte (édition, revue, site web…).

Welcome - publicdata.eu L’œil, la Terre et le cartographe, par Philippe Rekacewicz (Le Monde diplomatique, mars 2009) L’Atlas 2009 du « Monde diplomatique » La carte est une composition visuelle et le cartographe l’interface intuitive entre la réalité et sa transposition. Que se passe-t-il quand les anciennes représentations ne fonctionnent plus et que les nouvelles n’ont pas encore pris corps ? par Philippe Rekacewicz, mars 2009 Aperçu « Bizarre... Ce que Daniel Kaplan confirme à sa manière : « La représentation ne peut pas être ce qu’elle représente, parce que sa fonction même est d’appliquer des filtres pour rendre cet objet intelligible. C’est, au fond, un objet transitionnel, une représentation située entre la réalité et l’image mentale, l’interprétation visuelle du cartographe dont le cerveau opère des choix.

30 Places to Find Open Data on the Web Finding an interesting data set and a story it tells can be the most difficult part of producing an infographic or data visualization. Data visualization is the end artifact, but it involves multiple steps – finding reliable data, getting the data in the right format, cleaning it up (an often underestimated step in the amount of time it takes!) and then finding the story you will eventually visualize. Following is a list useful resources for finding data. Your needs will vary from one project to another, but this list is a great place to start — and bookmark. 1. Data.gov: This is the go-to resource for government-related data. 2. These are the places that house data from all kinds of sources. 3. Usually, the best place to get social data for an API is the site itself: Instagram, GetGlue, Foursquare, pretty much all social media sites have their own API’s. 4. Wunderground has detailed weather information and also let’s you search historical data by zip code or city. 5. 6. 7.

DATA Report 2011 With fewer than 1,000 days to go until the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ONE’s new Special Report Tracking Development Assistance, explores overall trends in official development assistance (ODA) and shows how donor countries are doing in their efforts to support Africa. This special briefing follows on from ONE’s main 2013 DATA Report report, Financing the Fight for Africa’s Transformation, published in May. Using preliminary OECD DAC data on development assistance for 2012, ONE reveals that global aid flows declined for a second year in a row, taking many donors further away from reaching their aid targets, and development assistance to Africa and sub-Saharan Africa was cut disproportionately. Sixteen of the 24 major donor countries reduced their aid to the region last year. Despite a challenging global economic environment, many poor and middle-income countries are making dramatic progress towards the highly ambitious MDG targets.
