### Machines Reading Maps and Recogito: an Online Environment for the Annotation of Historic Maps
Rainer Simon (Austrian Institute of Technology)
Résumé à venir...
Maps constitute a significant body of global cultural heritage, and the number of maps available digitally is increasing rapidly. The Machines Reading Maps project from The Alan Turing Institute, University of Minnesota, Austrian Institute of Technology, University of Sheffield, and the University of Southern California explores how Machine Learning can be used to extract text from maps, making cartographic collections more accessible and useful.
This presentation provides an introduction to the technical foundations of Machines Reading Maps, focusing primarily on Recogito, our annotation environment for generating ground truth and visualizing the results of automatic map text recognition. Recogito is an online environment for collaborative annotation, and can be flexibly customized to meet a wide range of project needs. The presentation will conclude with an outlook on related work that is currently taking place in collaboration with the David Rumsey Map Collection."
