<p>The <a href="http://bestiario.org/research/remap/">reMap</a> interface we used to visualize <a href="http://www.visualcomplexity.com/vc/" class="extlink">visualcomplexity</a> projects can be applied to many other collections. In fact the conditions are:</p>
<p>- to be a list of contents (more than 80)<br />
- each content is tagged<br />
- contents share tags<br />
- each content has an associated image (or it is an image)</p>
<p>Therefore image collections and in particular photography collections are ideal sets of contents to be displayed using this interactive method. Our aim is to open the app to be freely used with any content set that observes the conditions. Off course Flickr and its sets is a big resource (but there are much more). In order to be informed about please follow Bestiario´s blog and twitter account.</p>
<p>By now we want to share three photography collections we fell in love with: <a href="http://bestiario.org/research/tessera/">Link Tessera</a></p>
<p>- <strong>Changing New York</strong>, 1935 &#8211; 1938, Berenice Abbott, from the New York Public Library&#8217;s photostream <a href="http://bestiario.org/research/tessera/changingnewyork/"><strong>open</strong></a></p>
<p>- <strong>Chicks</strong>, by merkley <a href="http://bestiario.org/research/tessera/chicks/"><strong>open</strong></a></p>
<p>- <strong>Proyecto agua (water project)</strong>, Antonio Guillén and students from the Instituto Batalla de Clavijo <a href="http://bestiario.org/research/tessera/agua/"><strong>open</strong></a></p>

Most of the register are mollusc, vertebrata and artropodes. They belong to places all .over the world. The Data Base will be updated until reaching the total amount of collections registered (around the million).</p>
<p>The information is structured following the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Core" class="extlink">Darwin Core Standard</a>, developed by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility  GBIF (for whom museum is one of the information providers).</p>
<p>Bestiario developed this interactive space that allows acces to the records collections in the Museum Data Base.</p>
<p>The interactive options are:<br />
-drag and zoom the map to selected geographical location and scale<br />
-select/deselect geographical layers in order to have different views<br />
-click on an active (containing registers) square to download all the registers located in the selected area.<br />
-a zoom-in framing the selected square will display more detailed locations (with a depicted precision radius) of the registers. Zoom into selected square is activated by clicking arrows in corners.</p>
