Hi Volkan I am interested in historical maps from the point of view of “One-Place Studies”, and have developed a prototype application for doing this (Mapping for One-Place Studies - bit.ly/m4ops). IN this I can import maps, add and manipulate data, show things at different times etc.
When I started, a few years ago, I had hoped that OHM would be of use to me but it has not proved so. I tried to engage but none of my early questions were answered, and I have seen very little activity on this mailing list since then. There must be activity somewhere but I have not seen it. Whereas my interest is in very local areas there are other people interested in the global scale and world history. See eg chronas, geacron and chronoatlas. None of this answers your questions, but it might be of some interest. Best wishes with your research Peter Cooper Needingworth, Cambs UK hcnhistory.org.uk mapping4ops.org/M4OPS w3w:novels.fire.loyal From: "Volkan Özgen" Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2018 1:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [OHM] Thesis about Open Historical Map Hello Open Historical Mapper :), my name is Volkan, I'm from Berlin, Germany and I currently study applied computer science at HTW-Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft). I'm currently working on my thesis and the title is "Usability of Open Historical Map for Open Historical Data Map". Open Historical Data Map is like OHM a open source project by Prof. Dr. Thomas Schwotzer. He is my professor at the university. The goal of OHDM is to create historical maps. There are a few things I need to know about OHM for my thesis: 1. What are the exact goals of OHM ? Which of these have already been implemented ? Which functionalities are planned for OHM ? 2. Which functionalities have already been implemented ? 3. Is there a way to get the map data, like an API ? 4. Can I import maps in OHM ? 5. Can I filter the map for a specific year, like I would like to see a map from 1907, if not, will this functionality implemented soon ? 6. What does the data model of OHM look like ? 7. How far is the development of OHM (in percent) ? I know that's a lot of questions but I hope you guys can help me out :) Wish you all a great day and merry christmas :) Greetings from Germany -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Historic mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
