This is a continuation of the Augmenting History posting we posted a number of weeks ago, by RecKoNation.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entry adds some more details around how the editing tools could work as well as some more applications of the technology.<\/P<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding Datasets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Web-Based Editor<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

User will be able to enter Datasets in to either a web-based or mobile client. These Datasets may be classified as either \u2018Free\u2019 or \u2018Premium\u2019 with premium sets being made available for a small download fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, if a user wants to download a premium Dataset such as the \u2018Official National Park Dataset\u2019 (vetted and accurate) they will pay $0.99. Alternately, they would also have the flexibility to use an anonymous user\u2019s dataset for free if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Datasets can have \u2018subsets\u2019 which, in concept, act as \u2018pages\u2019 of sorts in the parent (main) Dataset container. More details around subsets are included below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing & Creating Data Sets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Users begin by naming their datasets and filling out information about the historical event – an overview of the event (if they desire)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can then add subsets to their dataset. These are like the pages of a book, each one is independent, but is contained within the parent dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing & Creating Data Subsets<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Data subsets can be time based, groupings (e.g union, rebel) or general (organized by the user).
Time based subsets will include a playback control on the client when users are viewing these types of datasets. This will allow users to step through\/play back time, whether that means advancing through the subsets by minutes, days or years etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsets that are of the type \u2018Grouping\u2019 and \u2018General\u2019 don\u2019t have any associated time-based (playback) UI controls, but would be filterable via UI controls like any other subset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All subsets can be filtered when viewing the data on the mobile client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nested subsets (subsets of subsets) will be allowed but only to a level of 1 nesting. For example, \u2018day 1 of a battle\u2019 may contain subsets for groups of combatants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Points<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Data points will consist of latitude, longitude and altitude (if input by the user). Data points are also organized into the following types which will dictate their in-app behavior and the types of data that can be associated with them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
