Hi everyone, my idea is to create points with a link to the work/publication so we can share by area the work we did. First of all… is there anything like this already?
I would like to block some features as the description and main rules and also that the one who wants to add his work can not delete mine.
Also when tried to create more complex data sets with the attribute table the information is then hidden and is not simple to access the link. Would be nice to follow QGIS format of creating a new feature where it is mandatory to fill up some attributes first, so it is also classified and represented by theme or institution for example.
Hello, great idea! Unsure if exactly what you have envisaged has been done, but there are many examples of data repositories that provide map views to look (and download) data. I haven’t seen one for publications though. One hurdle I see is the scale of studies and depicting them on a map. For example a study “Rocks of Buenos Aires” is simple to locate to Buenos Aires, but a study like “Andean andesites” would cover a large area and several outcrops/site/cores for which a single point might not be very representative.
I doubt the vast majority in OSM would know whether there are curated editable geology research location maps. I don’t know if existing software/service has this edit control either, let alone the filling forms. At worst, you could use an external spreadsheet/form/database, then connect them in uMap’s “remote data” in the layer.
This is not what you asked for exactly, but Wikidata organizes papers. You could ask if they find it fits in the existing format main subject - Wikidata , or ask for topic and location separately. Wikidata:WikiProject Wikidata for research/Data models/Scholarly article - Wikidata
