DIGMAP developed solutions for georeferenced digital libraries, especially focused on historical materials and in the promoting of our cultural and scientific heritage. The final results of the project will consist in a set of services available in the Internet, and in reusable open-source software solutions.
The main purpose was to develop a specialized service, reusing metadata from European national libraries, to provide discovery and access to contents provided by those libraries. Relevant metadata from third party sources was also reused, as also descriptions and references to any other relevant external resource.
The project made a proof of concept reusing and enriching the contents from the National Library of Portugal (BNP), the Royal Library of Belgium (KBR), the National Library of Italy in Florence (BNCF), and the National Library of Estonia (NLE). In a second phase, that will be complemented with contents and references from other libraries, archives and information sources, namely from other European national libraries members of TEL – The European Library (DIGMAP might became an effective service integrated with TEL - in this sense the project is fully aligned with the vision “European Digital Library” as expressed in the “i2010 digital libraries” initiative of the European Commission).
Re: Discovering our Past World with Digitised Maps
beautiful map Alexandre: I quickly found a Real that I didn't know existed?? "Real C. Jean" approx 29* 50' almost on the edge. I have been through most of that country on my mule in the 50 -60's.
It was largely uninhabited except for a few bandits then. Gracias.
Now I have a problem identifying that Real, it is close to where Tayopa would be, but a Reals' location would be well known where as Tayopa's location was kept fairly secret by the Jesuits for obvious reasons.
Re: Discovering our Past World with Digitised Maps
good Morning Alexandre: fantastic maps beautiful. I have spent the past 2 hours going over them.
What was fascinating to me was that I have been over much of the country south of the border on my Mule, and so appreciate just how close they were. Yet, not close enough to find the points of interest on the ground unless they were along a waterway.
It is easy to see how / why Tayopa never appeared on any of their maps. I don't suppose that the Jesuits had anything to do with no reported evidence. he he
