---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sandra Fauconnier <[email protected]> Date: Fri, May 29, 2015 at 2:54 AM Subject: [GLAM] Expedition Wikipedia web app To: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination - closed list < [email protected]> Cc: [email protected], "Wikimedia & GLAM collaboration [Public]" <[email protected]> Hi everyone, To summarize (some of) the results of my Wikipedian in Residence project of last year <https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Expedities>, a web application was built and launched yesterday: http://www.expeditiewikipedia.nl/ It's a geographic visualization tool for a series of historical events, linked to Wikipedia. My WiR project was about expeditions, and this web tool puts these expeditions, their Wikipedia articles and/or Commons images 'on the map’, as a journey. The best examples of Wikipedia and Commons integration are in the Dutch-language expeditions in the application. It's a pilot, and the source code is open sourced on Github - https://github.com/ndkv/vm ... feel free to download, tweak, investigate, contact me and/or the developer if you have questions :-) Many greetings, Sandra (User:Spinster) _______________________________________________ GLAM mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/glam _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-Cascadia mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-cascadia
