I am now able to show some data on screen. Using data taken from CANCERMondial I can draw a world map with different colours depending on the cancer rate. I would have loved to have accesss to Google Analytics’map, which should be almost perfect for this kind of stuff. Unfortunately I haven’t found a map like that on the net. The perfect map should have even better separations like sub states or regions (ie. California is a sub state of USA).
I was thinking to publish it now but I still have to find out how to print all the acknowledgment. On the site they states:
The data extracted from this website are in the public domain. You may use it “as is” but must cite the corresponding reference. While there should be no restrictions on the use of information published in CANCERMondial , users are asked to acknowledge the original data providers, and the CANCERMondial web-page address: http://www-dep.iarc.fr/ .
Which means I have to publish their site AND acknowledge the original data providers, which in my case are all the data providers, because I represent the whole world.
Anyway if for some supernatural reason you know (or you are) a cancer researcher, please let me know because I need some help to understand the data.
