Workflow forold maps in libraries

1 Scanning

2 Publishing

3 Georeferencing

4 Metadata

5 Search

What we were discussing:

http://help.oldmapsonline.org/Report and notes at:

We would like to search in map collections!

But traditional text search is almost useless... :-(

A

Search interface: “Where, When, What/Who”

Bounding box

Coordinates on the map collar

Bounding box in the metadata record:

034: $$dE0123600$$eE0273600$$fN0500000$$gN0400000 255: $$c[(012˚36’00" v.d.--027˚36’00" v.d./050˚00’00" s.š.--040˚00’00" s.š.)].

MARC: field 034

DC.Coverage: name=Western Australia; northlimit=-13.5; southlimit=-35.5; westlimit=112.5; eastlimit=129

DublinCore: DCMI Box

ISO 19115 / FGDC

How can you generate these records?

It should be simple...

B

Can community help you with that?

Yes! But it must be entertaining process for people...!

“Web 2.0” for scanned old maps: cooperative georeference and possible online research!

C

You should publish your maps...

Visitors can explore your scans at your sites,zoom & pan in the browser...

You will add the the button to your website with the map presentation:

>> 3D View & Georeference <<which links to prepared web-based tools

> Specification of control points for your online scans <Main advantage: It allows improvable collaborative georeference even after the document is published!

3D Earth demo

•

Google Earth 3D presentation of your scanned maps:We provide the geometadata (KML) - the images comes

from your server (no upload to 3d-party)

Cartometric accuracy analysis online - for your scans(based on MapAnalyst)

Possible online warping of your scans:If you agree, we can provide OGC WMS access to your

scans (as soon as you publish with Zoomify or IIPimage)

MAPTILER.ORGDEMO

Possible online warping of your scans:If you agree, we can overlay Google Maps and similar services (similar results like with our MapTiler.org)

Search interface: “Where, When, What/Who”

Metadata necessary for the geo search engine:Online georeferencing tool generates also metadata for

geospatial search in your map collection...

Online map synthesis and genealogy studies are possible with maps from different online map collections

Demo of the interface: Microsoft Research MapSynthesizer
