This document introduces OpenHistoricalMap.org (OHM), a project to map historical objects and places in OpenStreetMap. OHM maintains a separate database from OSM to store historical data with start and end dates. Examples are given of areas mapped in both historical and current times. Contributors can add historical data by importing archive data from OSM, tracing from historical maps, or directly editing in OHM with normal OSM tags plus start/end dates. Future goals include more map layers, timesliders, and better tracing tools to make OHM data more accessible and usable.

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It was founded in 2004 in response to expensive licensing of Ordnance Survey data. Users can map areas by collecting GPS data or editing existing maps. The data is openly licensed and used in many applications. OpenStreetMap has over a million users who have collected billions of GPS points to map nodes, ways and areas using a folksonomy tagging scheme. The data can be accessed through the website, API or exports and rendered into maps using tools like Ruby libraries, PostGIS, and Mapnik.

Psychogeography is the study of how geographic environments influence individuals' emotions and behaviors. It involves exploring landscapes in unconventional ways to gain unique perspectives. Techniques include deriving, which involves drifting through an area without a fixed route or purpose. The Situationists in 1950s Paris were early practitioners of psychogeography and deriving as a way to transform perceptions of places and everyday life. Modern interest has revived with groups conducting psychogeographic walks and events to re-experience urban environments. Mobile apps now offer new ways to engage in psychogeographic mapping and storytelling about places.
The document describes a web-based GIS tool called Tagger that allows users to capture fuzzy geographic areas and attributes. It has three main components: 1) A user input tool that lets users spray fuzzy areas on a map and tag attributes. 2) A storage and weighting tool that aggregates inputs from multiple users. 3) A querying tool that represents the aggregated data and allows searching tagged comments based on perceived importance. The tool was developed to capture everyday geography like areas people perceive as "nice" or having "high crime", which usually have vague boundaries and vary within.
The document discusses crowdsourcing the georectification of historical maps by having people trace over digitized maps online. It provides context that while crowdsourcing work to users can build a site, companies must also provide structure for users to collaborate. Examples are given of past mapping projects that used crowdsourcing as well as technical steps to georectify maps and tools that can be used.
This document discusses community analytics on the GeoWeb and outlines challenges and opportunities for collaborative analysis of big, real-time, linked geospatial data. It proposes creating web-based platforms to make analytics easy, powerful, collaborative and traceable for decision makers and the general public. The goal is to enable people to work together to analyze information and draw more informed conclusions, as was done for disaster relief in Haiti, by addressing issues around data volume, sharing models and keeping analyses extendable and improving over time.
Psychogeography is the study of how geography and the built environment can influence human emotions, behavior, and perceptions. It involves exploring and mapping an area using techniques like deriving (drifting through an area) to experience places in unique ways and transform perceptions. The concept originated with the Situationists in 1950s Paris and has since inspired various groups and individuals to map areas while cultivating unusual perspectives on places through activities like psychogeographic walks.
OpenStreetMap - Case Study Haiti Crisis Responsechippy
This document discusses how OpenStreetMap data and volunteers helped respond to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It describes how within a week of the earthquake, over 700 volunteers had mapped Haiti using satellite imagery. The highly detailed maps helped first responders locate roads, buildings, and camps.

Psychogeography. Guest talk at Leeds Universitychippy
Psychogeography is the study of how geography and the built environment influence human emotions and behavior. It began in the 1950s with the Situationist International group in France who saw it as a way to critique modern capitalist cities. Some key practices of psychogeography include the derive, where one explores an area by drifting aimlessly and observing how the environment shapes their movements and perceptions. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in psychogeography through community mapping projects, guided walks, and sharing experiences of places online.
