The timeline displays either everything time-bound or is a display format for a specific component, like Events. If there is only one timeline per page, there must be elaborate settings to configure what is shown on the timeline.
Contents
Timelines
Basic timeline
A basic timeline is text-based. It can display a point in time and a time span. It can be zoomed and scrolled horizontally in time. It displays events by row, earliest on top. The events can be scrolled vertically when there are more events than fit the frame.
Gallery timeline (timeline with a gallery of events)
A gallery can be joined with a basic timeline to provide a more visual display. Gallery in the events component is based on dates in addition to event items. Gallery topics link to the event's topic pages when the event is based on an event item. An item can be created for topics that are only based on a date. Events read from external data sources can be more wordy.
A basic gallery in any component becomes a timeline when the items are sorted by time. See also Gallery
Family timeline
See also Family tree
Correspondence timeline
To be developed. See also Correspondence as it develops.

Editing events
BiographySampo extracts sentences about events in the Finnish National Biographies. They contain structured information about the related actors and the date. These sentences can be read via SPARQL and arranged on a timeline. The following is a scenario of a crowdsourcing interface to turn those sentences into structured data.
