Now that I have the mapping subject and data, I need to apply filters to the data which will make it more presentable, linkable, and of course navigable. The filters will act both as titles/means of grouping the data, and also as navigation links within the map.
Filters applicable to my data:
- Personal - where the person comes from, their age, sex;
- Tastes - mostly listing their favourites (e.g. colour, music, food, movies etc);
- Ideologies & Beliefs - religious/spiritual beliefs, political status, social attitude, law and order, enviornment, social classes etc;
- Social Life - how they interact with others, where they go out, pastimes, substance/alcohol ‘abuse’ etc.
The data may not be necessarily filtered into the 4 main headings listed above, although they will be categorised in a similar fashion.
For my own data set, applying these filters will be easy - however, the level of filtering is limited when it comes to the remaining data set which is collected from external sources.
Within the UK demographic, a personal profile from each of the nations represented (England, Wales, N. Ireland) will be included at the deepest level. These will include a full profile and photograph, and will be chosen to align with the general concensus of the data collected.
The profile would include:
- Photograph;
- Full name;
- Age;
- Sex;
- Location;
- Favourite: Music, Colour, Food, Movie, etc;
- Political Stance;
- Religious/Spiritual Beliefs;
- Social Habits.
More may be included, although everything required to build a basic, satisfactory profile is listed above.
