The association "Die Schaumburger Landschaft" maintains the project Spurensuche (trace search). This project aims to gather treasures as witnesses for culture and historical landuse (so called traces). Lots of honorary contributors are working to collect and document those traces.
To simplify the task for the contributors Intevation GmbH has been charged
by the local authority of Schaumburg to develop a web portal to enter
traces as points or polygons. Additionally to geographic coordinates
and descriptions the user can upload images which will be stored in the
database. The plattform distinguishes between those people that entry and
change the traces and editors who have to check the information and
can decide to publish them.
Published traces are included in an information system which enables the
user to search by category, commune, age and other characteritics of the
point of interests. Besides of textes and images the user can see the
location of the trace on a interactive map which enables the user to
navigate and to ask infomation about other traces.
