1. Describe your project.

2. How does your project advance or affect the library field?

Libraries are traditionally arranged by the dimensions of subject and author and we believe that rich and robust timeline management, particularly for events, will be a valuable resource for communities in the future.

Let’s co-imagine and co-realise a library which has access to books and also the time stream of richly useful history.

3. Who is the audience and what are their information needs?

The audience for a system of connected, properly time stamped data with rich interactions is massive. Anyone who simply wants to record their own meetings to be able to go through the complete record later would benefit from at Time Browser, as would researchers in the future who add further techniques to look at how processes unfolded. This is both for the immediate teams and for larger, more public groups.

4. Please list your team members and their qualifications.
