- Crime incident type and frequency, by capital city and nationally
Crimewave provides an overview of crime incidents committed per city, as provided from the excel dataset “Crime incident type and frequency, by capital city and nationally”
The excel file is read, parsed and served up via a public webservice.
Inside the application users are able to gain an overview of the crime statistics in a graphical way. The data may be visually digested via a map / bar / pie charts and as a raw data set.
Users may compare cities and filter the different crime incident types to display the required data.
Key elements:
- Provide the excel dataset available in a more useable format (XML) available to the public via a consumable webservice.
- Provide an intuitive and interactive way to view datasets.
- Provide a number of graphical ways to view a single dataset
Absolutely gorgeous interface design.
Now if we can just hook you up with a statistician or similar people to help improve the guts of the statistical analysis underneath the shiny front end, we’d have something truly awesome.
Thankyou very much Adam.
I totally agree with you on that one about the underlying dataset. Could definitely do more with more detailed information.
Ben, commendable work there. You’ve got my vote! Given that this is under creative commons license, do mind sharing what platform you’ve used for it? Flash or Flex?
Thankyou again Harshit,
Yes it was built in Flex, also using a couple of Flash components. And the webservice was built in ColdFusion.
