Outline of Final Research Achievements

The project developed a prototype system of crawling and mapping the linked open data on Malaysian area studies that include academic journal articles and online news articles. The articles are located on a map accordingly to the tagging of place name. Researchers with no advanced IT skills can develop such system without much cost. These systems on different regions can be integrated into a crawling and mapping system of wider region.
