Flip Explorer

Taskforce Secretariat — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 06:08:24 +0000

Flip Explorer combines an interactive online search interface, 3D tagcloud, and timeline widget, with a natural and familiar reading environment for mashups of digital knowledge collections. The user interface has been designed to present as a ‘book’, where pages displaying parts of a collection can be read and easily browsed as you would any physical book. For the MashupAustralia contest, Flip Explorer uses the Powerhouse Museum Collection dataset, as well as the museum’s picture library. Search results are organised chronologically and indexed by time period for ‘timeline’ browsing.

LobbyLens correlates data about Federal Government business over the last 3 financial years. It shows the connections between government suppliers, government agencies, politician responsibilities, lobbyists, clients of lobbyists and the location of these entities. These connections are displayed through unique visualisations such as interactive network graphs and geovisualisation.

In Their Honour

Taskforce Secretariat — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:25:05 +0000

In Their Honour is a mashup dedicated to the service men and women who fought and died for Australia. We have indexed over 100,000 service records and linked them to their burial location in one of over 3000 War Cemeteries in Europe and around the world.

We have also taken the WWI photographs from the Australian War Memorial and created a Timemap. A chronological and geographical, photographic record of Australia’s experiences during wartime. We hope to extend this to include other photographic collections, integrate historical events and user contributed personal histories.

In Their Honour is an invaluable resource for teachers, genealogist and researchers studying Australia’s wartime experience and particularly for family members locating their relative’s final resting place.

Features:

Searchable database of over 100,000 service men and women.
Detail page for each individual in the index.
Links to service records.
Photograph of cemetery or memorial.
Detail pages for almost 4000 War Graves and Cemeteries, worldwide.
