“I know not that I can offer on the occasion any

suggestions not likely to occur to the Committee. Were I tohazard one, it would be in favour of adding to Reading,

Writing, & Arithmetic, to which the instruction of the poor,

is commonly limited, some knowledge of Geography; such

as can easily be conveyed by a Globe & Maps…No

information seems better calculated to expand the mind

and gratify curiosity than what would thus be imparted.”  

James Madison, 1822

StoryLayers = data with elements of place and time

For example… 

8/13/2019 NCSS presentation

StoryLayers are designed to be open data that can

be ‘version edited’ much like a Wikipedia page

MapStories take one or multiple StoryLayers and add narrative

elements like text, photo and video to comprise a particularPERSPECTIVE about some phenomena…MapStories can be

shared much like a YouTube video
