Purpose
The purpose of the tutorial will to demonstrate the thematic capabilities of the open software called OpenJump. It will demonstrate some of the strengths of the program to alter data looking at the styles, symbology, and more. After showing the capabilities of this program, hopefully it helps either students or employers if they want to use this free program to edit their maps, or to buy an official and costly software such as ArcMap.
Introduction
OpenJump is an open source Geographic Information System that has been created by volunteers around the world. The program is capable of analyzing shapefiles and simple GML files, and displays the images. The particular strength of this program is its ability to edit geometry and attribute data which this tutorial will demonstrate. Using datasets provided from the Carleton database, this tutorial will pick data that can be easily understood and displayed on the program and then alter and edit it. This project will use data provided from the City of Ottawa, National Capital Commission, and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority Thematic Data. These files have provided a number of geospatial datasets that include activities, assets, biophysical, boundaries, mapping, and planning.
