Task

The goal of the project is to work with the data of the German federal election 2013 and OpenStreetMap

Requirements

Find sources for

  • detailed results of each state
  • shape files of the constituencies
  • data to combine with the election results

Model your data in ER and store the data in PostGIS
Overlay the administrative borders of each state and the constituencies
Visualize the results of the election on the map

Result

We built a web based application connecting statistical data with the results of the federal election based on a PostgreSQL database with a PostGIS extension. The primary programming language for the backend is Java, for the frontend it's Javascript.

Wiki Overview

The wiki is meant to give an overview of the application describing general concepts used in the development and pointing out interesting features and solution.
The first part is focussed on the data sources, the second part deals with the actual implementation.
