GEOMAT: Geographic Events Ordering: Maps, Archives, Timelines.

Pilot Studies and Overall Web Architecture

Arlinghaus’s GEOMAT displays the complexity of Suleiman’s patterns of military conquests. Link to that work.Haug’s GEOMAT maps many sorts of data in calendrical time. Link to that work.Larimore’s GEOMAT brings important primary sources to life by integrating them with maps. Link to that work.Link to pilot web architecture combining the three pilot studies above.Synthesis of individual web pages into a single shell is important in creating a unified methodology.

Notes

Haug’s project was initiated as part of the seminar Maps and Timelines in Play to Resolve Conflicts in the Eastern Mediterranean:  Italy to Israel led by Professor Emerita Ann E. Larimore at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in the Winter of 2005. Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies, The University of Michigan. GEOMAT course proposed for additional two-year development.Authors of this document: “The Ottoman Empire: Boundary Transformations in Space and Time.” Solstice: An Electronic Journal of Geography and Mathematics, Winter, 2005, http://www.imagenet.org/Larimore (alone) created a Nobel Peace Prize GEOMAT.
