I am preparing a presentation about Wikimaps for tomorrow (Meeting of the
International Society of Curators of Early Maps ISCEM at the International
Conference on the History of Cartography) and I am outlining these steps.
Please react:
- Map mass uploads for institutions
- Adding geolocation to maps in Commons (georeferencing)
- Web mapping service in Wikimedia
- Collaboratively vectorizing old maps (with OHM preferably)
- Spatiotemporal gazetteer in Wikidata
- Map mashup tools in Wikimedia (languages, thematic data, timeline
animations, historical geometries...)
Cheers,
Susanna

I am preparing for the inevitable occasion when the data in Wikidata will
be
usable.
I am hoping to see the location of the map connect to knowledge about the
location.
Also, I am hoping that when the old maps are used for vectorizing
historical features, those geometries would link to Wikipedia articles or
other data. And most importantly, I think "Commons" data should be queried
in connection with Wikidata data, otherwise great opportunities are lost!
Cheers,
Susanna

What's your opinion? Shall we cross post?
