Eureka Melbourne

For GovHack 2015 we decided to encourage Melbourne's citizens and visitors to explore all that it has to offer.
Eureka Melbourne is a web app that you can run on your mobile device or computer. It uses your location to determine if you have visited any of the several hundred points of interest we have compiled from open data.

Now you can fight your suburb against that of your friends!

Using our database built from state and national data, we select all the attributes in which your suburb is more awesome than that of your mates. We present them in a easily understandable way. Now you have real data to prove that your suburb is absolutely the most awesomest! Get battling!!

A large number of datasets are publicly available in GovHack-2015 website. Several relevant information can be obtained from various attributes of individual dataset. Moreover, it can be easily perceived that each of these datasets can be inter-related to infer various valuable analyses, which can increase the richness of the individual data. The main aim of our project work is to introduce a unique contribution towards the direction of finding relationship among different categories of datasets and creating a bridge between those (datasets).

We see open government data as a chance for the government to inform its citizens, and for the citizens to inform the government; as a chance to foster communication and cooperation. In our project, we ask: where is infrastructure sufficient, and where are services lacking? If I want to move to a different suburb, where are my needs and interests best catered for?

This project is about discovering stories from the past as we belief that stories from the past should not be forgotten.

Using the ABC national photostories dataset we provide a minimalistic photo based interface that exposes the reader to a variety of stories and attempts to get the reader hooked using the photos alone.

A website that retells the ANZAC story, both at the front and at home, to give people a deeper understanding of life during World War 1.

Hey we're J4! A team of 5 based out of Griffith Uni on the Gold Coast. We decided to create Cordial a platform for people to view and discuss stories about their local communities. Cordial pulls data from both the ABC Local Stories repo as well as the Department of Indigenous Affairs and compiles it into one easy to read blog. 

We humans are visual creatures. We respond, interact and learn from visual mediums incredibly well, so what better way to convey government data than through images.

Places change, always. The way they look, the way they feel, and the way we use them, remember them and imagine them.  What we value about a place changes too. What’s important today, was not so important yesterday. Who knows what will be important tomorrow?

But, what if your memories could last forever?  What if the value you see in a place could be seen by everyone else?  What if your places became our places?

TimeCapsule does this by creating a contemporary historical record, generated by citizens, used over generations.
