Mining and Mapping Social Media

Mining and mapping social media data with the Big Data Toolkit

Steven Gray will address the collection and visualisation of real time online data sets. By utilising the Big Data Toolkit (a toolkit that specialises in mining social media data) the session will focus on the collection of data from various API’s (Application Programming Interfaces) and the mapping of the data by using the Google Maps online mapping API’s. Finally the session will conclude by focussing on visualising this real time textual data for the web, building an interactive discovery tool for geospatial social media data.
