History Examples
Per the microformats process this is an examples page documenting existing real world examples of historical information published on the Web.
The Problem
How should we mark up content that has specific historical contexts, meanings, and/or values?

Real-World Examples
Historical Timelines
Tools for Timelines
Historical Event and Markup Linking (HEML) Project includes an "XML schema for historical events which describes the events' participants, dates, location and keywords; the schema associates these with source materials in print or on the web" and "XSLT stylesheets that combine conforming documents and generate lists, maps and graphical timelines out of them."
SIMILE Timeline Builder from MIT. The SIMILE timeline uses JavaScript and XML to create a timeline. The XML markup :
EasyTimeline (also at Infodisiac) "is a Mediawiki graphical plugin for visual timelines."
HTML-based Timelines
Most HTML-based timelines use (very unsemantic) tables for markup.
The Food Timeline: Food history reference and research service.
List of Timelines from Wikipedia. Lists timelines available on Wikipedia.
The History Place presents Abraham Lincoln
EVOLUTIONARY/GEOLOGICAL TIMELINE v1.0 from Talk.Origins
Image-based Timelines
I include image-based timelines to get a sense of what content might be included, even though the content isn't marked up in these examples.
Timeline of Art History, Metropolitan Museum of Art
General History Sites
Reference
History Wikibooks. Examples include World History,
U.S. History, and Modern History
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity: Exploring the French Revolution
A More Perfect Union: Japanese Americans and the Constitution (non-flash version)
Bloggers and Weblogs
Airminded: Airpower and British society, 1908-1941
Frog in a Well (east Asian history and culture)
Museums
National Museum of American History
National Museum of Natural History
The British Museum. Their World of Money is a historical exhibit on the history of money around the globe.
Types of Historical Information
Dates and Time Periods
Centuries
Decades

People/Biographies and Profiles
Most biographical profiles provide dates of birth and death, detail important events with which the person was involved, and outline general historical contexts in which the person lived and participated.
