Opening historical maps for community mashups - a case study of the NLS Historical Maps API

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper examines the NLS Historical Maps API, launched in May 2010, and its usage over the following two years. The Historical Maps API is a web service allowing historical out-of-copyright maps from the 1920s to the 1940s of Great Britain to be embedded in other websites, and then used as backdrop for other data, or to create derivative work such as OpenStreetMap. The background to the API and the choice of map series is discussed. The technical development of the API, and the use of MapTiler and Tileserver is described, as is the choice of Creative Commons licensing, and the subsequent launch and promotion of the API. Over the following two years the API has recorded 841,000 visits and 1,462,000 page views. It has been used in a very wide range ofwebsites, including those devoted to outdoor recreation (walking, cycling, climbing, canoeing), archaeology (portable antiquities and metal detecting), family history, local history, railways, photography, teaching, and archives.
