A historical database

Sett inn af Olaf Simons 3. nóvember 2011 á English.

I am working on a Wikimedia-Germany project designed to integrate bibliographical and archival data and we would like to become able to track results on maps.

The software we will use is Semantic MediaWiki, and touring through OpenStreetMap I wonde whether we could not get a group of fans who would love to do things with historical maps and data. (E.g. travel routes of historical persons, distributions of search results on maps, networks of historical persons on maps...)

If there are fans for such a task I'd love to win them for the project. Looking through OpenStreetMap I feel we sould not try to invent things you'ver already done here.
