This week, the team did a little more digging into what the past projects at the Venice Project Center have done. We discovered that some of the accomplishments over the years were the creation of infographics and maps, visualizations and widgets for a VPC dashboard, a VPC smartphone application, a new Venice site containing datasets of selected topics, the City Knowledge Console tool that uploads all collected data about a topic and allows access to it through the VPC website, and finally, several interactive visualizations of the VPC data.
In addition, we looked at some statistics about the current Venipedia site that numerous past VPC projects worked on. Venipedia is a wiki-based website that provides an abundance of original information, including detailed facts and statistics, about Venice that cannot be found elsewhere. Currently, the site has 27,120 total pages of information as well as 19,312 different articles. Each of the topics can have numerous pages. For example, the bridges category consists of 433 individual pages, one for each bridge in Venice. In addition, the site contains 706 uploaded files, which include various images, graphs, and maps.
