Hello all, I've just now become aware of the OHM effort (hi Susanna) and very interested to learn what the development goals are. Is there a link to some material laying them out? For example, is the plan to provide the means for loading copyright-free scans of historic maps and an editor for digitizing their contents?
My interests in this include both the spatial and temporal, and the joining of those two. A couple of things that might interest: I've done some work with colleague Elijah Meeks on representing historical time ( http://dh.stanford.edu/topotime ), and there is a discussion under way right now in GeoJSON world about adding a "when" object to the forthcoming GeoJSON-LD standard (several threads, listed here: https://github.com/geojson/geojson-ld/issues ). I'm very interested in the prospects for developing over time a global historical atlas that includes vector roads and rivers along with cities and boundaries. There are a few schemes aiming at such a thing, therefore many people talking about similar issues but in different conversations. One thing about digitizing is its so time-consuming, getting the "right" encoding scheme down beforehand becomes really important. Not sure how, but merging the discussions somehow makes sense. best Karl -------------- Karl Grossner Digital Humanities Research Developer Stanford University Libraries Stanford,CA US www.kgeographer.org ----- Original Message ----- > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > Message: 1 > > > Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 09:19:51 -0300 > > > From: Rob H Warren < [email protected] > > > > To: [email protected] > > > Subject: [OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype > > > Message-ID: < [email protected] > > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > > Figuring all of this is something that will take place in a few iterations. > > Things to keep in mind: The Gregorian calendar starts around 1582 and > > anything before is only really valid as a year. > > > The interface between the slider and rendering was originally meant to be > > an > > add-on to the tile renderer with something like startDate, endDate being > > part of the tile URL. > > > Tim, nice work with the extra layers.
