The NYC Space/Time Directory

Hi!
I'm Bert Spaan!

NYC Space/Time Directory's main goal: make the Library's collections and NYC's history more accessible, through space and time

Example 1: Brooklyn's farms

Example 2: cars

First step: the Libary's collection!

Second step: digitization!

Third step: extract data!

Fourth step: combining it all!

NYC Space/Time Directory = NYPL data + external datasets + databases + APIs + search + geo + RDF + open source + digitization + crowdsourcing + community

Goals: open data, search, open source tools, map viewers

Fifth step: open data + community!

Sixth step: make things!

Thanks!
