Richard,
nice to talk to you again, we previously met at the OSM Hack weekend
in Toronto last year.
There have been some previous discussions on the mailing list about
this topic that should probably be added to the wiki. I also have an
interest in modelling troop movement, through how to do this would
breaking the rails databases is problematic. ...there is also the
question of whether we wish to link to 'current' features within OSM
proper.
I'm currently fighting with renderd - I'd like to be able to add date
ranges to tile requests so that only items within that time range are
rendered on the map. I'm trying to decide between a scheme where the
date range is encoded directly into the URL or within a parameter of
the URL request. Any preferences?
best,
rhw

i just joined; Jeff Meyers pointed me at the list after a brief
exchange
on talk-us
apparently some history oriented OSM projects i'm interested in doing
match up pretty
closely with the goals of this project, and the strategy here looks
very
much like what i
thought would be necessary.
i'm (among other things) interested in entering time stamped troop
movements from
American Civil War battles and campaigns, with the ultimate goal of
producing
customizable animations showing the progress of events.
having said that, has there been any previous discussion about
tagging?
in particular,
things like having a standard tag prefix so that we have a somewhat
independent
namespace, e.g. historic:foo or ohm:foo?
has there been any previous discussion about tagging historical events
and places in
general?
thanks,
richard
