Hi, I came across http://gk.historic.place/ , a historic places map/atlas that runs on historical places data saved in OpenStreetMap. It needs the proper tags to be set in OSM to recognize them. It would be cool to import all or parts of this ASI monuments dataset to OSM and make it appear on that global map of historical places.
I'm not doing it, just putting the idea out there for interested folks to take up. It may also make a cool project. Here's a blog post explaining <http://www.opennordics.org/historical-objects-how-i-stopped-fearing-and-learned-how-to-contribute-cultural-heritage-to-openstreetmap/> what to do. (Forgive the php error messages on the page, scroll down for the content), Addendum: Just cross-posting again from the other thread, Arun has made a QGIS script that does the job of extracting Bhuvan's metadata out to columns from within QGIS itself. Here's his script <https://github.com/planemad/qgis-extract-html-attributes> with instructions, and here's the message thread <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/datameet/XTF4_P-nxU8/I1nsBkXJCAAJ> where it's posted. -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ +91-966-583-1250 Pune, India http://nikhilvj.co.i <http://nikhilvj.co.in>n -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
