DGmap is an online interactive tool that visualises indicators drawn from large-scale European and international databases reflecting the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) amongst children and young individuals in Europe. A large number of indicators are estimated and visualised on an interactive map revealing convergences and divergences amongst European countries. Apart from its main feature, that of facilitating users to observe discrepancies between countries, the map offers the potentiality of downloading or customising country reports, information concerning the estimation of the indices and their values as spreadsheets, while covering a period from 2015 and onwards. DGmap also allows users to examine the evolution of each indicator through time for each country individually. Thus, the presented tool is a dynamic and constantly updated application that can serve as a major source of information for those interested in the use of digital technologies by children, adolescents, and young people in Europe.
DGmap是一个在线交互式工具,它能将从大规模欧洲和国际数据库中提取的指标可视化,这些指标反映了欧洲儿童和年轻人对信息通信技术(ICT)的使用情况。大量指标在交互式地图上进行估算和可视化展示,揭示了欧洲各国之间的趋同和差异。除了其主要功能,即方便用户观察各国之间的差异外,该地图还提供了下载或定制国家报告的可能性,以及有关指数估算及其值的信息(以电子表格形式),覆盖时间从2015年及以后。DGmap还允许用户单独查看每个国家每个指标随时间的演变情况。因此,所展示的工具是一个动态且不断更新的应用程序,对于那些对欧洲儿童、青少年和年轻人使用数字技术感兴趣的人来说,它可以作为一个主要的信息来源。
