BiblioFile seeks to increase social connection through reading- like Tinder for book lovers. It uses public library open data to notify uses of other people with similar reading interests and to connect people with the books that they love. Users can connect with other people who like to read- regardless of location- both online and in the real world. Books can be searched for and requested through the One Card Network - and if it is not available they can request that it is purchased by their local library.

Our GovHack project allows end-users to create photomosaic images from photographic datasets avaiable on the Data.SA open portal.  This is a visually dynamic way to showcase the thousands of images available to view and gives the user an opportunity to display these photos in a fun and engaging way.

hi my name is Matthew Connole My project is on the Australian indigenous, and finding important fact about them and how they commit to Australia and its society. I will do this by using a visual infograph to show the statistics of for eg: smokers, ages and the overall population of them in Australia. This will be presented between three to four infographs.

Background

South Australia and Australia are surrounded by beautiful and pristine coastline providing a heaven for people to explore and Discover the Beauty of South Australia and enjoy the riches of our beautiful ocean. South Australia is also now being recognised nationally and internationally as a game fishing destination for Bluefin tuna  and other species.

We are a team of 3 people that decided to build a website to show people ship locations and the history behind that ship. We focused on around 6 ships (down from around 700) for a proof of concept. We made a web site showing the location of these ships with pictures of the ships as well and a page for each ship with a brief summary of the ship, we did this using 3 data sets, one for the locations, another for photos of the ship and another for another picture. We sourced some information from books as well.
