DESCRIPTION
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Many libraries own an extensive collection of historical maps. Beside
their value
as historical objects, these maps are an important source of information
for
researchers in various scientific disciplines. This ranges from the
actual history
of cartography and general history to the geographic and social
sciences. With
the progressing digitisation of libraries and archives, these maps
become more
easily available to a larger public. A basic level of digitisation
consists of
scanned bitmap images, tagged with some basic bibliographic information
such as
title, author and year of production. In order to make the maps more
accessible,
further metadata describing the contained information is desirable. This
would
enable more user-friendly interfaces, relevant queries of a database, and
automatic analyses.
The purpose is to provide a forum for the communication of results
(which may
appear elsewhere) that may be useful to the community. Researchers and
practitioners
of all areas working on unlocking the content of old maps are welcome to
participate.
We welcome humanities scholars, developers, computer and information
scientists as
well as librarians, archivists and curators.
