“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

Collect…
StoryLayers.
ComposeMapStories…
Crowdedit...to make StoryLayers better…
8/13/2019 NCSS presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncss-presentation 13/37
StoryLayers = data with elements of place and time
For example…
8/13/2019 NCSS presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncss-presentation 14/37
StoryLayers are designed to be open data that can
be ‘version edited’ much like a Wikipedia page
8/13/2019 NCSS presentation
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ncss-presentation 16/37
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
