# GlobaLID App 

Here you can find the source code of the GlobaLID web app.

# What is GlobaLID? 
GlobaLID is a Global Lead Isotope Database and aims to facilitate the reconstruction of raw material provenances with lead isotopes, especially in archaeology. The app provides direct access to and convenient interaction with the [GlobaLID database](https://doi.org/10.5880/fidgeo.2023.043). You can filter the database according to your research question, upload own data to compare it with GlobaLID, and produce and download publication ready plots. Watch our [video tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwKStMc-068) to learn more! Visit [our webpage](https://archmetaldbm.github.io/Globalid/) to learn more about the GlobaLID project and to get the latest news. 

The current version of the GlobaLID database includes data from these locations: 
```{r map, echo=FALSE, fig.width=10}

data("World", package = "tmap") # load worldmap from package tmap

GlobaLID <- subset(readRDS("data/database_complete.rds"), select = c("Longitude","Latitude"))

ggplot() + 
  geom_sf(data = World, fill = "white", size = .25) +
  geom_point(data = GlobaLID, aes(x = Longitude, y = Latitude), size = 0.25, color = "red", shape = 16, alpha = 0.75) +
  scale_x_continuous(expand = c(0,0)) + 
  scale_y_continuous(expand = c(0,0)) +
  theme_void() + 
  theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = alpha("darkblue", 0.1), color = NA), 
        legend.box.background = element_rect(fill = "white", color = NA))
```

# Join the team! 
GlobaLID needs your help to grow and to provide high quality datasets! The core team is permanently reviewing and adding new and old data from the literature to keep GlobaLID growing. However, we are neither proficient enough with the geology and geography of all parts of the world nor do we know all publications with lead isotope data from ores and minerals. Hence we are happy about any support from our community. Interested? Write us!

# Acknowledgements
The initial GlobaLID database was compiled during years of own research and profited from the generous sharing of published lead isotope datasets by many colleagues. The creative and collective work of compiling the database and application was initiated when all members of the Core Team and E. Salzmann were members of the Archaeometallurgy group at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum (DBM). H. Zietsch (DBM) compiled the initial literature references. 

The Core Team feels deeply grateful for the support of the contributors. Without their efforts, GlobaLID would grow much slower and less accurate. 

We are indebted to the R Core Team for providing and maintaining [R](https://cran.r-project.org/), the authors of the fantastic packages we use, and the R community on [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/) and many other webpages. The app uses the following packages:
