This visualization maps Smithsonian Folkways album metadata from a GeoJSON file onto a world map, using colored points to represent individual recordings. It shows the geographic distribution of musical traditions by country, with each point positioned at a country’s centroid. The code uses D3’s `d3.geoPath` and `d3.geoMercator` to draw the map, while a `d3.forceSimulation` with collision detection spaces overlapping points. Hovering reveals album details via a tooltip, and the Vue framework manages the UI state.
