Gazetteer Development for the China Historical GIS Project
نویسنده
چکیده
The China Historical GIS project is developing a set of free tools and datasets covering the geographic space that has, at one time or another, been nominally part of China. The idea is to provide a generic digital platform for historical places that can be seamlessly integrated with a wide variety of contemporary GIS data, but which is not tied to a single data source. The CHGIS data model enables the user to overlay and visually compare many different “interpretations” of historical places, and to add their own data as well.

Integration of digital gazetteers, involving the disambiguation of unique places and conflation of duplicates or variant placeneames, has been the focus of many theoretical papers in recent years.
