Following discussions with EDINA we have agreed on a catagorisaton of desired functionality: core (or ‘must-have’), optional (or ‘nice-to-have’) and out-of-scope.
Core functionality
- Maps delivered in resolutions suitable for mobile devices
- Map scroll-able, zoom-able to different levels of detail
- Plotting of current location on the map using supplied GPS location
- Plotting of location points on the map (to represent notebook entries)
- Showing a walkable route plotted between multiple locations on the map
- Browse of available location-points by category (taken from the catalogue – e.g. “Irish� or “butchers� etc.)
- Notebook entry pages delivered to a page-turner (or some sequence of multiple pages) – linked through the location points plotted on the map
- Notebook entries to have an email function (email me this page/location entry) for retrieval from a desktop
Optional functionality
- Mash-ups with external content – e.g. the police street-level crime data API, or Yelp to determine which businesses listed in the notebooks are still present today
- Crowdsourcing comments on location entries
- Audio narrations of location entries or walks
- A pub crawl walking route of pubs that existed at the time of the map/survey!
Out-of-scope
- Transcription of notebook entries
