<div dir="ltr">I totally agree with Susanna.

I was at the NYPL meeting along with Susanna and Tim. Posted some notes about it on my blog the other day (<a href="http://kgeographer.org" target="_blank">http://kgeographer.org</a>). I've got a scheme in mind for something called The Orbis Initiative, which is an outgrowth from the <a href="http://orbis.stanford.edu" target="_blank">http://orbis.stanford.edu</a> I've been involved with. The idea is to collectively stitch together a global historical transport network. It needs data scanned from old maps of course, and it needs to come together with its intended uses in mind, which are academic research and ultimately teaching too. That said, the data might be cool for gaming development too. I most definitely want to feed data from it into OHM over time, and maybe data goes the other way too. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I do think it will be a 'community-sourced' thing as opposed to pure crowd-sourced. And split into area/period sub-projects. Something like: let's scan and trace these 4 early modern Europe road maps, or these 8 silk road maps. Then people who are especially interested in an area/period can join a like-minded mini-community to build out that piece. I'm trying to locate funding for it and a fair number of people have expressed interest in getting involved (with data, not $$).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Very interested to hear what OHMers think of all that...<br></div><div><br></div><div>cheers<br></div><div>Karl<br></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span><span style="color:#999999;font-size:small" size="2"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">-------------</span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">Karl Grossner</span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">Digital Humanities Research Developer</span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">Stanford University Libraries</span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">Stanford,CA US</span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><a href="http://www.kgeographer.org" target="_blank">www.kgeographer.org</a></span><br style="font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif"><br></span><span name="x"></span><br></div><hr><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid #1010ff;margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div><div><div dir="ltr">I suppose I sound like a broken record, but it always strikes me as bizarre when these hangouts are discussed after the fact on this list when there's no advance notice or reminder that they're going to happen.
