GeoDia (jee-oh-DEE-uh, short for "geodiachronicity") is
intended to provide a simple, intuitive way for people to visualize the
temporal, geographic, and material aspects of ancient Mediterranean
civilizations. Enter GeoDia >>
It uses a mashup of MIT's Simile Timeline
and Google Maps APIs to display the important archaeological sites and
historical events of the ancient Mediterranean world in both space and
time, and uses the Digital Archives Services (DASe) infrastructure
to integrate visual resources associated with those archaeological
sites during specific historical and art-historical periods. The user
can browse sites or events by region or culture, or search for specific
sites, events, or images. The results will be displayed in their spatial
and temporal context on the map and the timeline. Results sets can be
managed, shared, and exported to KML.
GeoDia is the result of a two-year long project proposed and directed by Adam Rabinowitz, assistant professor of Classics and assistant director of the Institute of Classical Archaeology at University of Texas at Austin, with the generous support of the Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services...
