Here’s the link to the maps from the source: http://nosimagery.noaa.gov/images/shoreline_surveys/survey_scans/NOAA_Shoreline_Survey_Scans.html
Here’s the maps we are going to georeference and trace for the New York metropolitan area: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q73vhjrnj0e1lbf/AADTjbuSbYM7n2JgtWLG-vOya?dl=0 There’s really no restriction on these. The maps are in the public domain, free of charge. They should qualify for Wikimedia’s rules about uploads – and the bulk upload feature of Wikimedia Warper will allow the project to expand beyond the New York metropolitan area if other parts of the US are interested in getting involved in mapping their own areas. — Sanjay Seth | Research Analyst Regional Plan Association (917) 546-4327 | rpa.org From: Susanna Ånäs <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 03:58:45 -0500 To: Steven Johnson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: Tim Waters <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, Sanjay Seth <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, Richard Welty <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, Albin Larsson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, Sanjay Bhangar <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [OHM] OHM Tasking Manager on OHM Servers Hi I have missed the link to the original maps, could you share it again if they are online. It could be a possibility to go through the process step-by-step publicly, in a FB group or similar (Wikimaps + Historical maps https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikimaps/), if the materials fit Wikimedia Commons. Susanna 2015-12-02 20:44 GMT+02:00 Steven Johnson <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: Hello all, Tim, thanks for the explanation, as well as your efforts to make this work. Also, the links to the GWToolkit and wikimaps are quite useful. Presumably, we could try out the process and see how it fits within the workflow. I'll defer to Sanjay, but I would guess that the copyright issues should be negligible. These are old maps that have been in the public domain for yonks. What I do wonder about is the amount of resources that will be required to enter metadata for each map.

This project will require georeferencing 175 maps just for the New York metropolitan area – so, streamlining that process is much appreciated. This is progressing, although the batch upload facility will not be added to Mapwarper.net currently. The code is open sourced though. So to be able to use the maps within the wikimaps warper you would need to ensure the maps are suitable for adding to Wikimedia Commons. This would be a two step process. Firstly, you would need to (and correct me if I'm wrong, wiki people!) ensure that the maps are either out of copyright, public domain or CC0, CC etc. Secondly also ensuring that each Map has all the necessary metadata associated with it in Commons (scale, dates, author, publishing data, etc). So an institution would need to first import their images with metadata into Commons first. There is something called the Glam Wiki Toolkit (GWToolkit) which is available for use for importing a load of images - and I think there would be options for adding the necessary map template, too. There's more information about wikimaps here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps Best wishes, Tim ________________________________ This email has been scanned for spam and viruses by Proofpoint Essentials cloud email security - click here<https://us1.proofpointessentials.com/index01.php?mod_id=11&mod_option=logitem&mail_id=R7XdLz33ZYGf&rid=48209320&report=1> to report this email as spam.
