(@Jheald: it took a little longer finding time to reply, I'm on my way to the conference in Stockholm, by bicycle. Between all the riding, it's been difficult to find time to finally reply to your comment! Will you be at the hackathon, by the way? I'd love to talk more about all of this with you in person.) I had this idea before I knew I was going to attend the hackathon. I've worked with georectified maps from different sources and different software tools over the last years. I've always wished there was more interoperability of map metadata between all these sources/tools. And I think it's time for a search tool that can find historical maps from all important repositories of georectified historical maps. > Bert's proposal sounds like a suggestion for an additional type of Commons data object, with a specified JSON structure. This would likely require edits to the MediaWiki code itself, which might take some time coming; and would it necessarily be storing the data where we wanted it? In my proposal I'm using a JSON structure as an example, just as a way to sum up all the fields needed to capture a complete map georectification. I'd like to use the hackathon to come up with a data structure that is compatible with, for example, Map Warper, Wikidata, Klokan and IIIF. The data structure could be a JSON structure, together with transformers to make it compatible with Commons structured-data statements, and Commons data objects.
