Topotime

==========================

**topo** (_from Greek τοπο-, a combining form of **τόπος** place_)

**Topotime** is a digital humanities project aiming to join Place and Period (space and time) in conceptual models, data formats, and software for geo-historical research. We are developing an experimental extension to the [GeoJSON data format standard](http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html), and open-source software to utilize it.

The project's planned work products include:

* **GeoJSON-T** ([repo](https://github.com/kgeographer/geojson-t)), adding temporal ("when") elements to GeoJSON, making it suitable for representing

	* attestations of historical geographic movement, such as journeys, routes, and flows (e.g. of commodities, people, or information)  

	* historical gazetteer records

	* historical periods

* **Linked Places** ([repo](https://github.com/kgeographer/linked-places)), a web application featuring (at the moment) a web map linked to a traditional timeline. The next phase development will add _temporal geometry_ visualizations and some basic network analysis and visualizations.

* **topotime.js** (soon), a JavaScript library for rendering GeoJSON‑T data in web apps such as Linked Places. Its dependencies at the moment include the Leaflet, Simile Timeline, and D3 libraries, as well as [...TBD]

* **topotime.py** (soon), a Python package that reads GeoJSON‑T data and can (a) generate and analyze _temporal geometries_; (b) perform basic network measures

All of these are either in active development or design, so the contents of this repo are dynamic "works-in-progress." Comments, suggestions, and reasonably polite brickbats are welcome.

Documentation will be maintained on the Topotime [project wiki](https://github.com/kgeographer/topotime/wiki)
