Hey team - <br><br>SOTM USA selected my proposal for a session on online time machines - w00t!<br><br>Anyone interested in helping out / have suggestions of things I should be sure to cover? <br><br>I'd like to use this 25 minutes to highlight some of the objectives of OHM & the issues we've started to identify on this list.<br>
I'm also thinking of a perspective of "What's happened since Frankie Roberto's last pitch?"<br><br>Thanks!<br>Jeff<br><br><br>Original submission:<br><br><div># OSM and Online <span class="il">Time</span> <span class="il">Machines</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>OSM
has focused primarily on the here and now, but it provides a great
infrastructure and foundation for the creation and collection of
historic information. This presentation will review:</div><div><br></div><div>- Past efforts at using OSM to record historic information & lessons learned</div><div>- The beloved start_date and end_date tags</div><div>
- Temporal rendering and storytelling challenges</div><div>- Current historic storytelling applications that could consume OSM historic data</div><div>- Establishment of a historic OSM sandbox environment</div><br clear="all">
