What’s an
Online Time
 Machine?
       
   A general-
  purpose tool
 that takes you
    back to a
 specific place
    and time.
        
Basic Controls:

 Time…
    
    It’s 
   Not 
     a
   New 
   Idea
     
     
 …And it’s 
   not 
Just about

Economic Q:
Why Hasn’t
 It Caught
On in OSM?
         
Plenty of other
 stuff going on
         
 Including day         xn + yn = zn
     jobs
         
Mapping today
still unsolved
         
  Many Hard
  Questions
         
 Soylent problem: 
History is… people!
Why
   Now?
      
  Increased
 Expectations
       
Tools getting
    better
Mapping & Web
       
Grasp always
exceeds reach
       
  Temporal
   Mapping
    Is HOT
What OSM
Can Do Now
      
      
   A lot!

  Much can be
  done in OSM
        
Lots of historic
geodata doesn’t
 “fit” into osm
        
Still a pain for
   time series
        
     Styling
matters… same
data, different
     style =
different story
