Timeline

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.

There are different sketches for timelines for different purposes. Can they be merged or should they be kept apart? Which ones could be made similar?

Special content

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.
