Checking through comments on the CCI blog, I found this one by Steve White who runs the Online Archaeology website:
Dan -
I only just caught this blog. You’ve done a great job getting this API out, and I hope it will encourage others.
I’ve added it to my map, here’s the instructions:
- Go to http://www.online-archaeology.co.uk/GoogleMap/
- Click Browse
- Expand the tree to say Roman > Coloniae, then click on ‘Coloniae’ in the tree view
- Click any marker to show the InfoWindow
- Click the black icon at the top of the InfoWindowThis will load all coins in the same county as the clicked item.
Steve posted this whilst I was on leave, so I have only just got round to looking at what he has done. Follow his instructions above and give it a whirl. He’s one of the first to play around with the API that I built for the CCI. I hope to do something similar with the Scheme’s main database upon rebuild. We have a mass of information that I’d like to let people use without restriction. Well done Steve.
