| Abstract: | Images are important in today’s society. They are a data type that can convey a wealth of
information and emotion, in a more informative way than a block of writing. This why we are
told as we grow up to use diagrams and graphs rather than fill the page with text. This paper
looks the current ways data, specifically historic, is being used and shared to convey
information. It uses historic images from James Grants Old and New Edinburgh and maps,
historic and modern to show different ways of linking the data spatially and exploring the
way the image can be linked to maps and how the data can be used. |
