Today 13:30 - 14:30 GMT: Exploring text on maps at #LinkedPasts #Pelagios

The David Rumsey Map Collection is one of the largest and most visited libraries of digital maps worldwide. Thanks to the collaboration with the Machines Reading Maps project, new experimental features are being developed to enhance the ways in which the maps are accessed, searched, investigated, and overall experienced.

While these features are not yet available to the public, this activity shares their current state, to gather feedback and to discuss possible applications or collaborations.

After a 1 hour demo, we will ask participants to pitch possible use
cases and research applications. A small number selected will be given access to the work-in-progress features of the Rumsey Collection.
