ELECTRONIC CULTURAL ATLAS INITIATIVE
 Founded in 1997
 ECAI is a global community dedicated to enhancing digital
scholarship and cultural heritage preservation by using time
and space for data sharing
 Collaboration with CITRIS
 Global consortium of over 700 humanities scholars and IT
researchers

Saving Cultural Heritage
Now stolen, this picture of a Hindu site was taken in 1990 in
Kathmandu when the sculpture was intact

Dynamic Maps
ECAI Iraq provides integrated access
to widely distributed Iraqi cultural heritage information
Dynamic map containing information on Iraq and its
neighbors
16
ECAI AND THE HUMANITIES
 Allows spatial and temporal discovery and analysis:
• A clearinghouse of over 1000 spatial datasets and authored
maps. Records are coded by time and place and are visable on
a map.
 Lets scholars “show their work”:
• Digital atlases that bring together data from many contributors
pertaining to a given place.
 Facilitates interactive publication:
• ePublications are exemplary
map-based electronic
publications on cultural topics.
ECAI ePublications are peer
reviewed and persistent.
