Tagging Places

Ethan Gruber edited this page Sep 2, 2016 · 1 revision

The tagging of places is similar to people and organizations. In the profileDesc of the TEI header, a settingDesc with a listPlace is inserted. The listPlace includes a unique list of all the places, with an @xml:id for each, the preferred label for the place, and the URI in the relevant vocabulary information system.

##TEI Header Example

 <settingDesc>
        <listPlace>
           <place xml:id="nomisma_rome">
              <placeName>Rome</placeName>
              <idno type="URI">http://nomisma.org/id/rome</idno>
           </place>
           <place xml:id="wikidata_Q330442">
              <placeName>Auriol</placeName>
              <idno type="URI">https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q330442</idno>
           </place>
           <place xml:id="pleiades_570685">
              <placeName>Sparta</placeName>
              <idno type="URI">http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/570685</idno>
           </place>
        </listPlace>
 </settingDesc>

XML ID

Like people and organizations, the @xml:id is formed by appending the ID number to a prefix designating the information system: 'nomisma', 'geonames', 'pleiades', 'wikidata'

##Text Markup The name should include a @corresp attribute that points to the @xml:id in the TEI Header

<name type="place" corresp="#nomisma_rome">Rome</name>
