Data

To follow along with the tutorial videos, please download the following data

Scholars GeoPortal is part of a growing collection of the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL).

The interface enables the selection of relevant variables and census geographies, providing access to data down to the dissemination area (DA) level. Census data can be incorporated into analytical and GIS software.

Through the following seven steps, this tutorial will provide you with exercises interspersed to test your understanding:

1. Open Scholars GeoPortal by going to http://geo.scholarsportal.info

To illustrate how you would get started and to demonstrate some model builder functionality, let’s work through a couple of examples.

For an accessible introduction to coordinate systems and map projections, please see the Coordinate Systems and Projections page in the Scholars GeoPortal user guide.

1. Launch FME Quick Translator from the Start Menu. On Map & Data Library computers, it is located in All Programs > FME Desktop 2012 SP4 > Utilities > FME Quick Translator.

1. Use the Add Data button to add each of the datasets you wish to convert to the map document.
