|Info=Niklas Alt is an active member of FOSSGIS e.V (since 2016).<br />
He is currently employed at the Hessian Institute for Regional History in Marburg. He aims to foster the use and acceptance in <br />
historical academic research and public institutions on the federal, national and european level. His academic interest lies within the spatial humanities, <br />
using exlusively an OSGeo Software Stack and promoting the use of free and open software and a commitment to open historical geodata and open <br />
standards within this community. His work involves the reconstruction of historical boundaries, the georeferencing of historical maps and the <br />
reconstruction of historical spatial reference systems. To this end he is using PostGIS, GDAL, <br />
PROJ, QGIS, GRASS GIS and OpenLayers. He is coordinating an international <br />
data standardization group aiming to build an open data model to standardize the data structures in the Historical Town Atlas (HTA). The <br />
HTA aims to reconstruct the face of the premodern European cities using a critical cartographic edition of the first exact cadastral maps. <br />
