+# OGT web map
+* **[OGT website](http://tib.eu/gestapo-terror-orte)**
+
+This is the repository of the OGT project's web map.
+The web map, based on OpenStreetMap and Leaflet, shows places of Gestapo terror and places of remembrance.
+Additional information can be displayed for each place and the places are linked to each other and to perpetrators and victims.
+Further information can be found in a glossary and visualizations of the data from Wikidata can be embedded.
+
+The data is retrieved from Wikidata via Laravel with SPARQL.
+Laravel serves as a full-stack framework.
+The frontend was developed with Vue.js and Vuetify.
+
+The OGT project repository is mirrored from the private [TIB GitLab](https://git.tib.eu/nfdi4culture/ogt/ogt-api) to
+public [GitHub TIB Hannover](https://github.com/TIBHannover/ogt-web-map).
+
+## About OGT project
+> The project aims both to research the activities of the Gestapo with regard to its locations and infrastructure and to
+make available digitally the existing knowledge about the crimes of the Gestapo and the later memory of them.
+A four-dimensional map, in conjunction with a Wikidata, serves to record archive, literature and other source
+material, evaluate it for research purposes and publish it as an interactive internet presence.
+The project further develops the open source prototype of the research database into a public resource that can be used
+and supplemented by memorials and educational institutions in Lower Saxony as well as by researchers, students and other
+interested parties.

-## About Laravel
-
-Laravel is a web application framework with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable and creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Laravel takes the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in many web projects, such as:
-
-- [Simple, fast routing engine](https://laravel.com/docs/routing).
-- [Powerful dependency injection container](https://laravel.com/docs/container).
-- Multiple back-ends for [session](https://laravel.com/docs/session) and [cache](https://laravel.com/docs/cache) storage.
-- Expressive, intuitive [database ORM](https://laravel.com/docs/eloquent).
-- Database agnostic [schema migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/migrations).
-- [Robust background job processing](https://laravel.com/docs/queues).
-- [Real-time event broadcasting](https://laravel.com/docs/broadcasting).
-
-Laravel is accessible, powerful, and provides tools required for large, robust applications.
-
-## Learning Laravel
-
-Laravel has the most extensive and thorough [documentation](https://laravel.com/docs) and video tutorial library of all modern web application frameworks, making it a breeze to get started with the framework.
-
-If you don't feel like reading, [Laracasts](https://laracasts.com) can help. Laracasts contains over 1500 video tutorials on a range of topics including Laravel, modern PHP, unit testing, and JavaScript. Boost your skills by digging into our comprehensive video library.
