<div dir="ltr">Hi Marc,<div>Thanks for your remark.<div>Indeed my first question should have been: Is there a place for such data in OpenStreetMap?<br></div><div><br></div><div>What we have assembled for <a href="http://www.JunIBIS.be">JunIBIS.be</a> is the positions of units during the Campaign of Belgium 15-22 June 1815.</div><div>To make it simple this comes to what? (unit X) where?(lat,long) and when?(datetime).</div><div><br></div><div>This is neither position of old buildings(OpenHistoricalMap) nor what's on the ground now(OpenStreetMap).</div><div>We do use Leaflet(and we could have used OpenLayers) to display this on Ferarris maps background.</div><div>FYI,the Ferarris maps were drawn by the end of 18th century, digitalized and freely available as WMS thanks to Walloon region.</div><div><br></div><div>Our maps are available under CC-BY licence.</div><div>Users have the possibility to copy/print our maps and to access our postGIS database on <a href="http://www.cartodb.com/">CartoDB</a>.</div><div>In May,I talked to this project with Nicolas Pettiaux and he gave me the idea to make this available on OSM.</div><div><br></div><div>So my question should be rephrased like this: Is there a standard/infrastructure to publish locations of historical events?</div><div>This is much broader than just military conflicts, it could be natural events such as volcanos eruptions, earthquakes... or anything else.</div><div><br></div><div>If OSM is not suitable for this, maybe the OSM community have an idea of such thing that would offer a new dimension(time)for Open Geographical Data.</div><div>If nothing exist, it's probably time to think about it.<br></div><div>Thanks for your suggestions,</div><div><br></div><div>BTW, I'm working for <a href="http://GBIF.org">GBIF.org</a> an inter gouvernemental infrastructure that offers open access to biodiversity data since 2001.</div><div>Andre </div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>André (Charlie) Heughebaert<br></div></div></div></div>

Les autres objets doivent être ajouter dans OpenHistoricalMap (peut-être)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>(Now in English for a more detailed explanation)</div><div>My first questions is, what kind of data do you have ? Does that data have a place in OpenStreetMap ?</div><div>OSM is about facts that can be verified on the ground now, it normally does not contain historical information like the positions of armies on a certain date.</div><div>Buildings that are long gone could go in OpenHistoricalMap.</div><div><br></div><div>Positions of armies on a certain date does not belong there neither. That kind of information stays in your own database and could be combined with an OSM background layer on a website, using one of the JavaScript libraries (Leaflet, OpenLayers).</div><div>Or you could use umap.</div><div><br></div><div>So please let us first know what kind of data you have before discussing the technicalities of an import.</div><div>Furthermore what is the license of the data ? Is it available under an ODbL compliant license ? This also holds for all the sources you consulted to create your database.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br></div><div>m</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">2015-07-09 15:24 GMT+02:00 André Heughebaert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andrejjh@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrejjh@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr">Bonjour,<div><br></div><div>Nous avons réalisé une site de cartographie historique sur la <a href="http://www.junibis.be" target="_blank">Campagne de Belgique 1815</a>.</div><div>Les données sont actuellement dans CartoDB/postGIS.</div><div>Quel est le meilleur moyen d'importer tout cela automatiquement dans OSM?</div><div>Mon language préféré est Ruby.</div><div><br></div><div>Merci,<br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div>André (Charlie) Heughebaert<br></div></div></div></div>
