This month sees the publication of “Understanding Historical and Living Information: An Interactive Petroleum Map“, an article on the map we developed for the Norwegian Petroleum Museum.

This article, which explains the Museum’s goals in developing this cutting-edge map, also goes into some of the technical details on how the map works. This gives readers interested in learning more about opensource GIS projects the opportunity to understand how we approached this bespoke project to meet the Museum’s requirements. The article also briefly discusses future development goals the Museum has for expanding the map to cover a greater geographic area so that information from other Oil and Gas Museums around Europe is included in the bigger picture.

Currently we are working with the Museum to included new layers and features for the current map.

The Article is in the December 2011 (Volume 14) issue of GeoInformatics and viewable online: An Interactive Petroleum Map
