In the DiViAS project scanned raster maps are vectorised (manually, semi-/automatically with GIS/AI) to visualise historical ship routes on old maps. To visualise possible routes of the Albatross we vectorised the map "Der Nord-Westl. Theil v. Neu-Mecklenburg, 1889" using QGIS.

Visualising historical processes in maps is challenging, as the spatiotemporal localisation of events is often accompanied by uncertainties. The DiViAS project is therefore developing visualisation concepts that allow different types of uncertainties in the data basis to be communicated visually.

Transkribus is an important tool used in the DiViAS project. The case study “Movement in Space and Time” specifically benefits from the automatic transcriptions, which serve as the basis for subsequent named-entity recognition.
