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

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.
