- Zora Neale Hurston Digital Archive.
- Abstract/Description
-
Launched in 2006 by Anna Lillios, Mark L. Kamrath, and J.D. Applen, the Zora Neale Hurston Digital Archive has two goals. Its primary purpose is to provide an academic site that will provide a repository of biographical, historical, critical, and other contextual materials related to Hurston's life and work. The site also seeks to make available various teaching resources so that both teachers and students can more fully appreciate the cultural and literary richness of Hurston's numerous...
Show moreLaunched in 2006 by Anna Lillios, Mark L. Kamrath, and J.D. Applen, the Zora Neale Hurston Digital Archive has two goals. Its primary purpose is to provide an academic site that will provide a repository of biographical, historical, critical, and other contextual materials related to Hurston's life and work. The site also seeks to make available various teaching resources so that both teachers and students can more fully appreciate the cultural and literary richness of Hurston's numerous writings. With time and funding, we hope to also develop a digital edition of Hurston's writings. A secondary goal of the site is to work closely with the city of Eatonville, Florida, The Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, and other interested parties in documenting Hurston's accomplishments both as a regional ethnographer and anthropologist and one of the world's most talented African–American women writers.

- WalkSmart Route Planner – Safe Routes to Schools.
- Abstract/Description
-
The "WalkSmart Route Planner" is a Web application that dynamically identifies the designated elementary school for a home location and computes the safest route to that designated school. The criteria for the computation of the safest routes consider number of intersections, traffic lights, crosswalks, speed limits, road class, and sidewalks. A fully functioning interactive Web route planner for 63 selected schools in Miami-Dade County are included.

Show moreThe University of Florida (UF) has partnered with the City of St. Augustine to "unearth" archival repositories previously inaccessible to researchers worldwide. The digital archive supports research in a broad range of subjects: Florida and U.S. history, Spanish colonies, Native Americans, slavery, Inventory of Digital Libraries 39 exploration, architecture and urban planning, social and economic development, missionary work, military defenses and warfare. Over 25,000 photographs, maps, overlays of the city, architectural drawings, government records, transcriptions of key Spanish documents, and archaeology site summaries have been digitized, with a majority of them geo-located. The collection not only satisfies the needs of a wide variety of researchers including historians, archaeologists, architects, historic preservationists, and those in the digital humanities, but the project also helps in telling St. Augustine's unique "story" of colonial heritage on a global scale. FIU GIS Center partnered with UF libraries to create this interactive web interface for this digital archive collection.

Show moreThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) September 2003 Certification Report recommended that the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) incorporate 'Sociocultural Effect' features in its planning process to ensure community values and concerns receive proper attention throughout the entire transportation development process. In response, the Miami-Dade MPO created the Community Characteristics Project (CCP) in order to review the social, economic, and geographic characteristics of an area before public involvement (PI) efforts are initiated. In 2010 the Broward and Palm Beach MPOs joined the program, and the CCP was renamed the "Transportation Outreach Planner". This web application has a suit of tools which help the managers and planner to make decisions relating to public outreach by providing an interactive demographic reporting tool, community background reports, and a set of public involvement strategy tools. More information and instructions on use are available at http://mpotransportationoutreachplanner.org .

Show moreTransitions is a scholarly journal of research addressed to both faculty and graduate students in the humanities. Its primary focus is work on the literary and artistic interaction between Spain and France from the early modern era to the present day. The cultural and literary exchanges that have taken place between these two leading Western powers through centuries have often been characterized by political, historical, religious and cultural transitions—between nations and national traditions, between periods, between literary or artistic styles, schools or genres. Particular interest will accordingly be given to the circulation, transformation, cultural adaptation and criticism of ideas and of literary and artistic forms as these migrate back and forth across the Pyrenees.

The data sets collected for 2005 include biogeo-chemical (including mercury and hydro period), fish, invertebrate, periphyton, and plant data. Each sampling site is associated with a location, a description of the site to provide a general overview and photographs to provide a pictorial impression. The Geographic Information Systems Center (GIS Center) at Florida International University (FIU) has designed and implemented an enterprise database for longterm storage of the project's data in a central repository, providing the framework of data storage for Inventory of Digital Libraries 41 the continuity of future sampling campaigns and allowing integration of new sample data as it becomes available. In addition GIS Center provides this interactive web application for easy, quick and effective retrieval and visualization of that data.

FCE research focuses on the Everglades ecotone where Inventory of Digital Libraries 38 freshwater meets saltwater along the Florida coast, a hotspot for sea level rise effects. FCE researchers study how hydrology, climate, and human activities affect ecosystem and population dynamics in the ecotone and, more broadly, the Florida coastal Everglades. Daniel Gann and Jennifer Richards are providing a landscape context for some of this ongoing research in the southeastern coastal Everglades. Using WorldView-2 2x2 m pixel satellite imagery, supplemented by LIDAR data where available, they are mapping a 1-km-wide belt around six pre-existing, long-term nutrient- and salinity-monitoring transects that stretch from freshwater marshes in the north to mangrove mashes in the south, crossing the oligohaline ecotone. Vegetation class percent cover derived from these maps will be used to estimate vegetation biomass, relying on pre-existing and/or literature data for estimates of standing stock per unit area.
