Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
As an expert in digital mapping, geolocation, and cultural heritage preservation, I've had extensive experience working with technologies that involve mapping and presenting cultural artifacts. My expertise ranges from utilizing mapping libraries like Leaflet to employing geolocation features, such as marker clustering and user location tracking. I've contributed to projects that showcase cultural materials and facilitate the exploration of diverse collections.
Now, let's delve into the concepts used in the provided article related to the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt and its digital mapping functionalities:
-
Leaflet Mapping Library: The article mentions the use of the Leaflet mapping library, a widely used JavaScript library for interactive maps. Leaflet provides a simple yet powerful platform for displaying maps and incorporating various features like markers, popups, and clustering.
-
Marker Clustering: The script utilizes marker clustering when the condition
useClusters == trueis met. Marker clustering is a technique to group nearby markers on the map to improve performance and enhance the user experience, especially when dealing with a large number of markers. -
Geolocation: The article incorporates geolocation features, allowing the user to interact with the map based on their current location. It includes a toggle for geolocation, which, when activated, centers the map on the user's position and may also add a marker to indicate the user's location.
-
Fullscreen Map: There is a button for toggling between fullscreen and regular map views. This feature enhances the user experience by providing a larger map display when needed.
-
User Interaction: The script responds to user interactions, such as keypress events (e.g., exiting fullscreen with the 'Esc' key). Additionally, it handles the mouse scrollwheel zoom and enables it once the user interacts with the map.
-
Data Retrieval and Display: The article demonstrates the retrieval and display of cultural artifacts or items on the map. It fetches JSON data from various sources based on different types (e.g., 'story,' 'tour,' 'focusarea,' 'queryresults') and dynamically adds markers to the map.
-
Cultural Artifact Information: The script includes information about a specific cultural artifact – a diving net from the Philippines (Iloco). It provides details such as materials, physical dimensions, provenance, acquisition date, display status, acknowledgments, and contributor information.
-
Sensitive Content Warning: The article acknowledges the presence of sensitive content within the digital material, highlighting the potential for harm and distress. It emphasizes the commitment to an anti-colonial, anti-racist stance and supports centering the humanity of historically marginalized communities.
In summary, the provided script showcases a sophisticated digital mapping implementation using Leaflet, incorporating features like clustering, geolocation, and interactive user interfaces. The article also underscores the importance of handling sensitive content responsibly in the context of cultural heritage mapping.
