Hi all,
I wrote down the summary from our discussion on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps/Template.
The basic proposal is to create a new template {{Template:Map}} for maps, that adds publication and location data to the Artwork template. - Jarek was opting to use only one template. - Tim A. noted that there are so many maps that are using the Artwork template, that having Artwork + an additional Map template will be beneficial. The data would be stored in Wikidata soon anyway.
The proposal is with 2 templates. Can that be handled in the GLAMwiki tool?
Please comment the properties on the page or here.
Happy weekend, Susanna

I like your work!
Based on this discussion, I vote for creating a new {{Map}} template.
Still, I am missing some librarian voice in the discussion.
Cheers, Susanna

The attributes below match better Commons Book template [1] than commons
Artwork template [2]. One difference is that Book template is a better fit for non- unique objects as it is lacking “Current location” and “Accession number” fields essential for Artwork. ****
Here are the mappings to current templates:****
*Zotero label*
*CSL fieldname*
*MapWarper*
*template:Book *
*template:Artwork*

I used “->field” symbol for cases where few external fields can be mapped to one template field.****
Commons templates can be expanded a little bit in case of individual files with help of Template:Information_field [3]. But that makes hard to read wikicode. So I see 2 options here: ****
**1) **Expand current commons templates. Several times in last year I run into a problem of unique written documents which were right in the middle between {{Book}} and {{Artwork}}. I think {{book}} might benefit from fields that allow describing institution that hold it ( institution, location/department within the institution, accession number). We can propose adding those.****
**2) **We can create a new {{Map}} template (either from scratch or by expanding other templates) that would accommodate this and possibly other fields which are now placed in description field of files (N S W E limits, projection/S stretch, etc.). Some of those fields might lend themselves into automatic KML production. ****

Thanks Jarek to remember the old KML-overlay solution (A project of User:Dschwen and me from 2007). The KML-solution had very limited features to make complex transformation to map an historical map on the actual world, but we can use the principle to provide via a template a link to a tool that use data from an Wiki subpage.
With the KML-solution we could only store lat, lon, 2 values for scaling the map and rotation angle. Now I would store a list of matching points with x,y in pixel of the map and lat,lon. Would this be ok for Maps-wraper? (I'm not an expert in this area.)
Like Maarten Dammers I want to make a first rapid hack as a base for the final solution.
If we know the parameter definition I could hack a template let's say "overlay2" that opens the right page in Maps-wraper's map viewer[1]. For this it would be nice if Maps-wraper could work with Commons imagenames as identifier instead of numbers. Would these be possible?
The Maps-wraper should have on the other side an export page for the matching parameters so that a user can store it on commons at a subpage.
The advantage of the KML-solution was that we don't need any caching storage. Now the transformations cost a lot of cpu-time so we need a caching of the tiles at maps-wraper.
Greetings Tim Alder
P.S: I think we should organize the communication so that every mail is going directly to everone or we should use only the maps-l mailing list[2]. So it is confusing. I would prefer the mailing list but don't want to loose anyone how is interested. Sussana should decide.

Hi all,____ __ __**** A standard, way of geolocating maps involves use of subpages with KML code. See for example http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dayton,_Indiana_1878.png andhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dayton,_Indiana_1878.png/overlay.kml . There was not a whole lot of people creating those KML’s and the software often does not like the subpages of files, but the infrastructure is there ready to use. If there was more interest in using them we could discuss some improvements to the system. We could also streamline kml production based on available data. Most current files are created using North/South/East/West edges and possible rotation. It might be more convenient to use coordinates of*
4 corners, which is a format also supported by KML. ____ __ __ Another possibility would be to use Template:GeoPolygon, or both. ____ __ __**** Are there any other fields specific to maps that are not template:Artwork? We could always upload a few sample images by hand (or pick existing ones) and ask community for help on formatting metadata, which would be than used as a template (using non Wikipedia meaning of the word) for the other uploads. That way we can easily see what are the possible improvements to Commons**** templates (using Wikipedia meaning of the word).____ __ __**** We could also create a specialized template for maps, which could be just extension of Artwork template. But it would be the best to avoid that if not necessary. Rarely used templates tend to get**** little attention and maintenance. ____ __ __ Jarek T.____ User:jarekt____
