STEP 2: STANDARDISING THE DATA

.CSV FILES

.JSON FILES

.XLS FILES

• the different fields don’t match • airplane data in vector format • others have geo-cordinates • we don’t know where airports have been open so we will

scrape data from DBpedia. !

We will use Python parsing and data structures to standardise the data

!

STEP 3: CORRELATE THE DATA

• Airports opening v. Tourism (expenditure & people)Tourism expenditure v. number of tourists Airports opening v. Growth of country !

• Airline routes — per continent (in and out) !

• Graph and statistical analysis on routes:Aim I: define the top connected areas per continentAim II: identify longest and shortest journeys

STEP 3: VISUALISE THE DATA

Choropleth map • growth of airports • increase in tourism per country Map of flight routes • representing airports as nodes/deduce

linking airports and most visited cities

Articulation points graph • most connected cities !
