Hi everyone,
To summarize (some of) the results of my Wikipedian in Residence project of
last year <https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Expedities>, a web
application was built and launched yesterday: http://www.expeditiewikipedia.nl/
<http://www.expeditiewikipedia.nl/>
It's a geographic visualization tool for a series of historical events, linked
to Wikipedia. My WiR project was about expeditions, and this web tool puts
these expeditions, their Wikipedia articles and/or Commons images 'on the map’,
as a journey.
The best examples of Wikipedia and Commons integration are in the
Dutch-language expeditions in the application.
It's a pilot, and the source code is open sourced on Github -
https://github.com/ndkv/vm ... feel free to download, tweak, investigate,
contact me and/or the developer if you have questions :-)
Many greetings, Sandra (User:Spinster)
