With web mapping and timeline tools becoming widely available there is a growing range of options for spatio-temporal approaches to organization and display of cultural information. Linking from dynamic maps to associated data through URL links has become common in web tools, news, and teaching. However, other types of integration of dynamic maps into web sites and systems is still a challenge.  Some types of linking and issues being explored include:

• Linking between maps or from maps to different types of spatial and temporal data
• Combining spatial and temporal aspects
• Integration of spatial information which does not easily overlay on contemporary maps and satellite imagery
• Automating integration of map and timeline displays with other contextual information such as images, charts and text corpuses
• Enabling distributed contributory maps and personal maps
• Understanding how users read and use new dynamic mapping resources available to them

Current work will be demonstrated as examples of these explorations including development of a Historical Gazetteer for Medieval Latin place names. The system under development integrates Latin names of historic places with a web service gazetteer.   This allows mapping of the cities using multiple interfaces including Google Earth, Google Maps and linkage to a web service provided by GeoNames which in turn automatically links to related places and to Wikipedia articles.  Additional explorations include linking to historical boundaries and Medieval Maps.
