Open Maps Meeting
05 November 2024 09:30 till 06 November 2024 17:00 - Location: National Archives & National Library, The Hague - By: Communicatie BK | Add to my calendar
On 5 and 6 November, the Open Maps Meeting takes place in The Hague.
More and more libraries and archives are making their digital collections accessible according to open standards and with open licences. These collections contain numerous maps, which are a valuable source for researchers across different domains. Projects such as Allmaps and MapReader offer open source software to enrich maps with additional information. How can researchers use these tools? And how are heritage institutions able to benefit from the results? To answer these and more questions, the Open Maps Meeting brings together an international community of geospatial researchers, map curators, heritage and data specialists, open-source developers and other professionals who share an interest in historical maps.
