User:Pegasovagante/Sandbox/IT:Open Historical Map

Open Historical Map (OHM) è un sito che si avvale del software OpenStreetMap (OSM) come base per disegnare una carta storica open source liberamente modificabile. Scopo del progetto è creare la carta piú universale, dettagliata e obsoleta al mondo. È un po' come raccogliere tutta la cartografia vecchia e storica reperibile e riunirla tutta insieme. OHM si concentrerà sulla mappatura degli oggetti che OSM sa rilevare ottimamente (coste, confini, fabbriche, percorsi e luoghi d'interesse). Iniziative ulteriori potranno trattare imprese storiche, avvenimenti, persone e oggetti mobili).

Contribuiscono a OHM i membri della community di OHM, fornitori accademici di dati aggregati, associazioni ed enti di studî storici, studenti e istituzioni culturali e formative nel campo umanistico, appassionati di storia, fornitori di dati liberi (open data), attivisti per la conoscenza libera e quant'altri condividano dati cartografici. Un elogio particolare va tributato agli innumerevoli sviluppatori che hanno dedicato tempo e impegno alla ricca gamma di software e strumenti OSM che a loro volta rendono possibile OHM, pur non essendo ricompresi nel senso piú stretto fra gli «utenti di OHM», intesi come chi inserisce i dati cartografici e storici.

Pregiudizî

Land acknowledgement: impatto di colonialismo, migrazioni e deportazioni sulle fonti e sugli strumenti cartografici

[Tradotto dalla bozza: vedi questo paragrafo in inglese per aggiornamenti]

«È anche doveroso ricordare che della nostra storia fanno parte coloro che furono rapiti e deportati qui nel nome del colonialismo e dell'imperialismo. Dobbiamo studiare, salvaguardare e onorare la storia e le genti dei luoghi in cui, individualmente, tutti abitiamo. Rendiamo onore alle vite di tutti quelli che resistevano e tutt'oggi resistono all'oppressione coloniale e alla supremazia dei bianchi».
Dal Land Acknowledgement, conferenza virtuale 2020 della Art Libraries Society of North America.

Mappando gli oggetti storici, tutti dobbiamo tener presenti i pregiudizî e i punti di vista dei cartografi quando raffiguravano i popoli indigeni e le loro terre. Tutti dobbiamo aver presenti i pregiudizî che condizionano non solo le nostre fonti e le nostre prospettive e nomenclature, ma gli stessi strumenti tecnici e tecnologici che adoperiamo. La community di OHM richiede che quanti vi prendano parte tutti rispettino e tengano nella piú alta considerazione la storia delle genti indigene, e che tengano conto del fatto che la storia d'un luogo ben di rado ha origine dall'esplorazione e dall'insediamento di colonie, mantenendosi aperti alle tematiche del pluralismo e dell'inclusività anche in senso multietnico.

OHM Code of Conduct

OHM's Community is a civil, sharing, and respectful group. That said, codifying what that means is important and we have done so. Read the details of the OHM Code of Conduct here.

First-time visitors

Newcomers - if you've made it this far, you should know a little about who and what OHM is, that we care about acknowledging indigenous people, and have basic rules for decent, humane interaction.

If you like what you've read, please visit the OHM Basics page first.

OHM projects

Mappers working in OHM are encouraged to create project pages describing their work. This can provide context and framing that are not practical in the map itself and provide details on sourcing and source choices that don't fit easily into source=*.

Projects are grouped here: OHM Projects.

OHM resources

Please find sources to meet your project needs within the OHM Resources page. This page provides a place to list map, imagery and documentary sources that are appropriately licensed for use in the OHM project.

OHM Streams

Various OHM contributors livestream. The current schedule may be found at Open Historical Map/OHM Streams.

Contributing

This page of the OHM wiki is currently being revised. Much has been moved to Open Historical Map/OHM Basics. Look there for an introduction to OHM editing.

Information about using historic imagery and maps with OHM is being put in the new Open Historical Map/Imagery page.

Tagging

For those familiar with OSM's tagging model and vocabulary, you'll be right at home here. OHM's tagging works generally the same as OSM, although some tags (like dates) are much more important in OHM.

Either way, please review this more detailed OHM tagging guide.

The current plan for OHM Life Cycle Tagging is to move forward with a version of the proposal in [Open Historical Map/Tags/LifeCycle]. Older proposals such as the date namespace suffix and the lifecycle prefix are no longer recommended.

Tracing a historic map in OHM

1. Find a cool map to trace. You can get some ideas for great maps here.
2. Check the copyright of the map you want to add
3. Add the map to Commons using the map template (add {{map}} to your file in Commons and fill out the fields "author", "source" and "description" -- or simply replace "{{Information" with "{{map")
4. Align the historic map using MapWarper by clicking on "Georeference the map in Wikimaps Warper" (see here for an example)
   1. Click on the "Rectify" tab and add *more than* 3 control points. Run the alignment and check the error, potentially fix control points until you have acceptable error (acceptable depends on your use case, if you have 100m errors, do not map buildings).
   2. Go to the tab "Export" and copy the tiles URL (this line "Tiles (Google/OSM scheme): http://warper.wmflabs.org/maps/tile/3274/{z}/{x}/{y}.png") or copy the line above if you want to use JOSM (right click on "for JOSM OpenStreetMap Editor")
5. Load the map in JOSM (using Edit->Preferences->WMS->+WMS to add WMS layer) or into the online iD editor (Background Settings -> Custom and copy-paste the PNG layer you get from the warper). It will show up as background and allow you to trace the old map!

Using the map

https://www.openhistoricalmap.org features an interactive map. Zoom in to see more details and adjust the slider to see the data at different points in time. A search box powered by Nominatim simultaneously searches all of history.

Many Wikipedia articles about places and events display geographical coordinates at the top-right corner. The coordinates link to the GeoHack tool, from which you can open the coordinates in a number of online map services, including OpenHistoricalMap.

Using the data

There are a variety of ways to use OpenHistoricalMap Data.

For smallish scale it is possible to download data using JOSM. Two alternatives now exist for larger volumes of data or larger areas:

• A weekly OHM planet file (see http://planet.openhistoricalmap.org/).
• A special Overpass instance at https://overpass-api.openhistoricalmap.org/api/interpreter. You can use it within Overpass turbo for OpenHistoricalMap or within the main Overpass turbo website (by setting the server to https://overpass-api.openhistoricalmap.org/api/ in Settings -> Server).
