This document comprises a georeferenced data set belonging to the Old World Trade Routes (OWTRAD) project. It can be used for historical research (e.g. validation of some set of facts); analyses of distances/ travel times/ modes of travel/ cargo moved along particular transportation corridors; construction of an electronic map, or GIS model of the movement/ transport/ communication circuits in a given area and time-period.

The data originate in the studied analogue source(s) (indicated below). Here they are disambiguated, subjected to georeferencing, and re-stated in a highly standardised manner. Consequently, OWTRAD data are easier to crossreference, share, analyse and manipulate. Also, they are more precise, and easier to test and correct than the original sources.

Although careful judgement has been applied in constructing this body of electronic data, it is still possible that some oversights or errors may be lurking in it still. Therefore, please treat OWTRAD data as sets of plausible hypotheses, i.e. bodies of statements which always are in need of further refinement, and further testing. Whenever necessary, do test and cross-validate OWTRAD routes/tracks (and their nodes) against each other, as well as against books, maps and georeferenced data sets published by other researchers, or agencies. Please be mindful of discrepancies or contradictions (and their likely sources) between these various bodies of information. Also, whenever possible, please test all such georeferenced materials against the detailed primary historical/ geographical/ anthropological/ logistical information about the region/time-period in question.

To keep OWTRAD data a source of dependable research information, please email tmciolek@ciolek.com with any corrections, addenda, or comments. Your input, dear reader, is always warmly welcome and highly appreciated.

    OWTRAD data in Mapinfo® interchange format

    The files listed below are published as the "Mapinfo Interchange" files. This means that their "native" format is a Mapinfo® map.
    The MapInfo Interchange files (*.mif, *mid) can be imported directly into other software, such as, for example, ArcGIS. The MIF file contains the graphics, while the MID file contains the textual data. The MIF file header contains the details of the coordinate system and bounds of the data set.

    Copyright restrictions applicable to the OWTRAD Project data are stated at the end of this web document.

    OWTRAD data in Google Earth® Data Exchange (KML) format

    The KML files are published in "Keyhole Markup Language" format. This means that they can be immediately used (e.g. displayed, shared, juxtaposed, analysed, combined with other OWTRAD data sets) via the Google Earth® software. These files represent a dual attempt. Firstly, they are an attempt at the basic clean up of collected raw data. Secondly, they are an attempt at a guess/reconstruction of the most plausible geography of the movement/transport/communication circuit in question.

    Comments

    OWTRAD KML files use the following terminology:

    Access on the Web "filename-data.kml.txt" file & save it as the Google-Earth-ready "filename-data.kml" file.

    OWTRAD data in Comma Separated Value (CSV) File Format

    All data listed below are stored in the CSV File Format. The top line of each group of records provides the fieldnames. Records are published on separate lines, one record per line. Fields within records are separated by a comma. The last field in each record provides a record number indicating the data set it belongs to and the record's ID number. Fieldnames (= variable names) and their values follow a convention adopted in the OWTRAD Notation.

    All records are designed to be copied from the screen and used as an input for subsequent word-processing, email, database, spreadsheet, or GIS operations. Copyright restrictions applicable to the OWTRAD Project data are stated at the end of this web document.
