# TRANSRAZ

**TRANSRAZ** is the successor project to [[toporaz]], initiated in March 2020. While TOPORAZ focused on a single square, TRANSRAZ aims to transfer the methodology to the broader public and a larger urban scale.

## Key Expansions
- **Scale:** The project expands the 3D mapping to the entire old town of Nuremberg, covering approximately 3,000 houses.
- **Methodology:** Due to the scale, the project employs **Big Data** methods and **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** for the partial automatic processing of historical sources.
- **Citizen Science:** TRANSRAZ introduces a participation platform allowing private citizens to contribute their own photographs or documents to the model.
- **Interconnectivity:** Georeferenced data is linked to external sources such as Archivportal-D and various printed works, integrating the project into a global network of historical data.

## Goals
The primary goal of TRANSRAZ is the transfer of scientific research into a usable format for non-academics, contributing to public education and the standardization of space-related research in the humanities.
