'Pelagios and Recogito: an annotation platform for joining a
linked data world'
One of the primary obstacles to conducting geospatial analysis of
relevant documents (both maps and texts) is identifying the places
to which they refer. Recogito is a user-friendly Web-based tool
developed to enable: first the “geotagging” of place names either on
maps or in digital texts; then the “georesolving” of those places to
an appropriate gazetteer. Not only does this step provide
geographical coordinates; by mapping to an authority file (a
gazetteer), the documents are also connected to the Pelagios linked
data network. All metadata are free and downloadable to the public
as CSV files or maps.
