A world map uses D3’s geoNaturalEarth1 projection and geoPath to render country boundaries as SVG paths. Data points from a SPARQL endpoint—querying museum objects and their associated locations—are plotted as animated circles that bounce into place with a staggered transition delay. The map uses TopoJSON for geographical features and d3.json for loading. Each circle’s position is computed via the projection from longitude and latitude values, with a simple bounce easing to animate the radius.
