Creating, Managing, and Maximising the Potential of Large Online Georeferenced Map Layers

摘要

This paper shares key insights on the National Library of Scotland’s work increating and maintaining georeferenced map layers, and the new user communities thathave been reached through doing so. It describes the georeferencing workflows used tocreate the layers, and the open-source viewers which allow the georeferenced layers to beviewed. Through web-services, these layers have been very widely used by new usercommunities. The paper describe these new user communities, and the implications for futureonline map digitisation, georeferencing and delivery.
