WALS 2013
Thursday, November 14th, 2013What’s new?
- Updated data;
- better integration of sources;
- the web application is now based on the clld framework developed within the CLLD project.
What’s gone?
Probably the biggest feature no longer available in WALS Online is the functionality to combine two features on a map. The new framework WALS is built upon has a more general database model, in particular it allows for multiple values a language can have for the same feature. With this model, feature combinations are not as straight forward as was the case before.
But being implemented on top of clld does also mean that it’s a lot easier to access WALS data programmatically. So you can use map making software like Tilemill to combine data from multiple features (not only from WALS) on one map as explained here.
