Welcome!

What do we mean by "mappingplatform"?

...oops, we missed the "web" part!

We put data into maps

Subset of so-called "data visualization"Data visualization webinar by Eric Rodenbeck

Perfect company for "geospatialcalculations"

Yes, we want GIS, but it never looked that good!

What do we mean by "nextgeneration"?

It's about the challenges!!!

What we'll see todayChallenges

How CartoDB is facing them

What we won't see todayCartoDB's comprehensive feature list

CartoDB demo

Other webinars at InnovaChallenge(Spanish)

Introduccin a CartoDB

CartoDB - APIs geoespaciales

CartoDB resourcesOnline documentation, tutorials and more

Maps were only like this not thatlong ago...

(c) Tobias Abel

Nowadays we use maps for:Not getting lost

Routing (distances, optimization)

Location based services

Topology

...

That means endless applicationsTrends, opinions...

Crime mapping

Election maps

Earth observation

Fleet management

Sensor network management

...

Got a glimpse of where we aregoing?

Data is finally out there!!!

(c) Justgrimes

Public data is here to stay (open data)Government data

Community-driven data

...

...or in there!!!Private geospatial data is growing too

We want everyone to make maps!

But it's not that easyPricing curve

Learning curve

How do we do it?We're open source

Freemium model for cartodb.com

Special pricing for academic community, scientists andnon-profit projects

Helper tools: dashboard, editor, odissey...

Documentation and training material

Partner network

Consultancy services

We need basemaps

(c) Brian Sawyer

But they are heavy and expensive

We make basemaps more accessibleWe make basemaps available to all our users (even

satellite!)

You can use your own basemaps (but we don't hostthem!)

You may use different basemaps for calculations

Data availability

(c) Mr. TinDC

Many different sources and formatsGIS, databases, spreadsheets...

SHP, KML, GeoJSON, CSV, TAB...

Three approachesSupport as many different formats as we can

Providing alternative import/update paths for the data

One-click integration

Map availability

(c) Michael Davis-Burchat

Spread the word!Embedding capabilities (link, iframe, oEmbed)

CartoDb PlatformIf you want to rule the map

Import API, SQL API, Maps API

cartodb.js

Maps aren't static anymore

(c) Secular Psychedelic

Torque

Security

(c) David Goehring

PrivacyYou may want your map and data to be private

You may want your data to be private but have a publicmap

You may want to host your data yourself

Security modelSecurity at data base level

Authentication and authorization in APIs

Named maps

CartoDB On-premise or deploy your own CartoDBinstance

Dataset size

(c) Steve Jurvetson

Datasets can sometimes be hugeAnd worse, we might want to make complex calculations

before rendering the maps

Server-side tile renderingImport/update optimization

Display query optimization

Dedicated resources

Data changes over timeReal-time updates

Sync tables

Maps can be really successful......and your potential audience is massive

(c) micadew

Maps can't waitQuery optimization

Heavy caching all around

Data updates influence caching

Protection from dataset locking

Active fronts

(c) Grzegorz Jereczek

UX vs. pro users

Datasets keep growing

Integration with external data sources and visualization oranalysis tools

Real time

Complex calculations

3D

(c) Romana Klee

We want people to make maps!Maps have changed a lot lately, just like so many other

things

They've now become an even more useful tool

This poses new challenges

With new challenges come new solutions

(c) Michael Mandiberg
