Abstract:
AbstractThis paper focuses on the historical politics of disaster records in Chinese local gazetteers (difangzhi 地方志). Using records of mulberry crop failures as examples, the authors ask how gazetteer editors collated Yuan disaster records—initially collected to help prevent disasters and authorize the legitimacy of dynastic rule—in gazetteers and, in so doing, made them into ‘local’ knowledge. Digital humanities methods allow for both qualitative and quantitative analyses, and the authors deploy them to demonstrate how, in structured texts like the Chinese local gazetteers, they could help combine close reading of specific sections and larger-scale analysis of regional patterns. In the first part, the authors show how disasters were recorded in a Yuan Zhenjiang gazetteer to facilitate taxation and disaster prevention locally—a strategy rarely traceable in subsequent gazetteers until the Qing. In the second part, the authors shifted their perspective to the historical accumulation of data and what that reveals about the reception of Yuan disasters: whereas local gazetteers from the north generate long chronologies of mulberry disasters from the Ming to the Qing, others depict the south as disaster-free.

Abstract:
The district histories should not become [. . .] a series of unrelated facts without any narrative which can be linked with national history, [. . .] the facts that raised problems should invariably come in the gazetteers if they are to be taken as faithful registers of the country. (Chaudhuri, History of the Gazetteers of India, 1964: 163)After India became free, it was felt that a new edition of the Gazetteers should be brought out. The life of a people never stands still. Any account of a country—and a gazetteer is no exception—must therefore be revised from time to time (Gazetteer of India: Indian Union, 1965: ii).How does a nation ‘imagine itself into existence’ (Anderson 1983), particularly after it has been subjected to colonial rule? How does it (re-)appropriate its history, and what are the means at its disposal for creating and asserting an identity or specificity of its own? India has since independence achieved some political and ideological unity: from north to south and from east to west of the peninsula, although they have contested it in a number of cases, people have developed some consciousness of being Indians, ‘sons of Mother India’.

Abstract:
The author of the present paper, a cartographer, studies the questions of geographical names for the correct representation of seas in every respect. Determining and handling the Hungarian names for maritime features raise questions that are identical with those emerging in connection with land objects: spelling, standardization, determining “official” names, managing name changes, compiling gazetteers, etc. This paper is a salute to the colleagues who several years ago set the theoretical and practical basis for the studies of the author. Amongst the main foundational works, one has to mention the standardization work of the “National Committee for the Registration of Settlements”, which also published the “Gazetteer of Hungary” (‘Helységnévtár’) a century ago in 1913, and that of the Hungarian Committee on Geographical Names, which, since its foundation 50 years ago in 1963, has dealt with regulation of orthography (1965 and 1998) and compilation of gazetteers (1971, 1976–1981 and 1982). The author describes his work and studies related to the improvement of Gazetteer of Hungary, II. (‘Magyarország földrajzinévtára, II.’). He also clarifies some misunderstandings in connection with Hungarian gazetteers, which have already been published in philological papers.

AbstractThe Supplement to the Illustrated Record of Wu Commandery (Wujun tujing xuji), compiled in 1084 by Zhu Changwen (1039-1098), is one of only two extant Northern Song local gazetteers. An examination of biographical materials reveals that Zhu Changwen wrote his gazetteer in opposition to the New Policies of Wang Anshi (1021-1086); it was intended as a contribution toward a new empire-wide gazetteer that would be required after the abolition of Wang's administrative reorganizations. The detail of Zhu's Supplement anticipates the more comprehensive gazetteers of the late Northern and the Southern Song. Les Notes supplémentaires à la géographie de la commanderie Wu (Wujun tujing xuji), compilées par Zhu Changwen (1039-1098) en 1084, sont l'une des deux seules monographies locales qui nous soient parvenues des Song du Nord. Un examen des matériaux biographiques montre que Zhu Changwen l'avait écrite en adversaire des réformes de Wang Anshi (1021-1086) pour contribuer à une nouvelle monographie nationale devenue nécessaire du fait de l'abolition attendue des réorganisations administratives de Wang Anshi. Par leur contenu, les Notes supplémentaires anticipent les monographies locales plus complètes des derniers Song du Nord et des Song du Sud.

Abstract:
Abstract Fenye (分野, lit., “field allocation”), is a traditional Chinese astrological system that associated celestial phenomena with regions on earth since ancient times. During middle and late imperial China, many literati writings criticized this system as illogical. Yet in the local gazetteers that were compiled in late imperial China to document local data within each administrative region, compilers continued to use fenye as the canonical way to identify their regions within the vast empire. The Jesuit introduction of Western sciences to China, in particular the technology that could precisely locate any place or region with latitude and longitude, appeared to render fenye obsolete, which fueled even more literati criticism. Modern scholars consider the public criticism from the Qianlong emperor and the resulting removal of fenye from the 1781 Rehe Gazetteer the end of fenye in imperial orthodoxy. However, by quantitatively analyzing a collection of 4,410 titles of local gazetteers and their section headings, this paper reveals many examples of local literati who resisted removing fenye entirely from their local history, well into the late Republican period.

Abstract:
Gazetteers play an important but largely unsung role in historical research, used with maps to help place people and events in spatial context. Recent years have seen new interest in digital gazetteers as bridges between the geospatial web and the semantic web, but many existing digital gazetteers and data models do not meet the needs of historians, as they focus on physiographic landforms rather than places of cultural meaning or administrative units. Historical researchers need to know about places whose locations are not knowable with certainty. They need to know about alternative names for places, about how names have evolved over time, and the specific historical contexts in which names were used. While GIS researchers propose temporal gazetteers, which will somehow include the precise dates at which features were created and removed, we propose historical gazetteers in which dates appear mainly in order to help reference particular instances of place names. Longer term, we need cultural gazetteers or toponymic encyclopedias that describe places as well as locate them.

Abstract:
Geospatial humanities projects rely on information found in gazetteers to supply the infrastructure for projects. However, a majority of spatial gazetteers provide place names and geographical coordinates but lack contextualizing information that give meaning to a place, making them insufficient resources for humanities inquiry. In this article, I explore contemporary approaches to data collection and models for cultural gazetteers set forth by early modern chorographical traditions to lay the foundation for building community-driven, open cultural gazetteers. Concurrently, the role of the public in providing Volunteered Geographical Information (VGI) by harnessing user-friendly tools is explored.

Abstract:
AbstractPublication of the Composite gazetteer of Antarctica by the SCAR Working Group on Geodesy and Geographic Information is a major milestone in the evolution of Antarctic toponymy. It has taken six years to produce, and contains 21,552 names representing 16,563 geographic features, sourced from 20 national Antarctic gazetteers and one international agency. The Gazetteer has been designed to avoid any value judgement regarding precedence or form of the various place-names. The contents of the two volumes are described, and the results of an analysis of the names data are presented. It is noted that 476 geographic features have two or more completely different names, whereas 3377 features have multiple names due to translation or transliteration. The limited progress towards development of toponymic guidelines for the Antarctic is described, along with plans for further development of the Gazetteer. An immediate benefit of the publication is that national Antarctic geographic names authorities will now be able to avoid approving new names for geographic features that are already named.

Abstract:
The region of the Luofu Mountains in Guangdong, China, has long been a Daoist sacred place for centuries. In the Daoist sacred geographic system “Dongtian Fudi” (Grotto-Heavens and Blissful Lands), the Luofu Mountains are ranked as the seventh “Major Grotto-Heaven”, standing as an influential site for the practice Daoist immortals. Due to a sense of local pride and responsibility, the Guangdong literatus Han Huang (active approx. 1600–1639) compiled an important gazetteer named Luofu yesheng (The Unofficial Gazetteer of the Luofu Mountains) in 1639, which is largely underexplored. By investigating the texts and images within Luofu yesheng and by comparing them with other gazetteers of the Luofu Mountains compiled during the Ming dynasty, this article discovers that Han Huang compiled such a gazetteer and demonstrated the religious sacredness of the Luofu Mountains to advocate for recognition of their status as a grotto-heaven and by imaginatively reconstructing their lost religious sites in Luofu yesheng’s texts and images.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: This article highlights the absence of historical gazetteers for territories once part of the Ottoman Empire, which hinders modern scholarship. The mid-nineteenth-century population registers ( nüfus defterleri ) offer a useful foundation for developing a gazetteer of the entire Ottoman Empire, but their use is limited due to the challenging task of geolocating the included populated places. To overcome this issue, two research projects collaborated to map mid-nineteenth-century population data using around 850 Ottoman population registers from the 1840s. The authors utilized historical maps and population registers to geolocate 16,782 populated places, creating the first version of their regional mid-nineteenth-century gazetteer. The article outlines the team's methodology used to build the gazetteer and addresses the notable limitations of the sources. Moreover, it contributes to the study of Ottoman population geography by demonstrating the extensive possibilities of historical GIS methodologies in enriching population density maps by considering environmental variables in the analysis.

Georeferencing of texts, that is, the identification of the geographical context of texts is becoming popular in the Web due to the high demand for geographical information and due to the raising of services for query and retrieval like Google Earth (geobrowsers). The main challenge is to relate texts to geographical locations. These associations are stored in structures called gazetteers. Although there are gazetteers like Geonames and TGN, they fail in coverage, lacking information about some countries, and they also fail by weak specialization, lacking detailed references to locations (fine granularity) as for example names of streets, squares, monuments, rivers, neighborhoods, etc. This kind of information that acts as indirect references to geographical locations is defined as Location Indicators . This dissertation presents an approach that identifies Location Indicators related to geographical locations, by analyzing texts of news published in the Web. The goal is to enrich create gazetteers with the identified relations and then perform geo-referencing of news. Location Indicators include non-geographical entities that are dynamic and may change along the time. The use of news published in the Web is a useful way to discover Location Indicators, covering a great number of locations and maintaining detailed information about each location.

Com o advento da Internet e o crescente número de informações disponíveis torna-se necessária a definição de estratégias especiais que permitam aos usuários o acesso rápido a informações relevantes. Como a Web possui grande volume de informações principalmente com o foco geográfico torna-se necessário recuperar e estruturar essas informações de forma a poder relacioná-las com o contexto e realidade das pessoas através de métodos e sistemas automáticos. Para isso uma das necessidades é possibilitar o georreferenciamento dos textos, ou seja, identificar as entidades geográficas presentes e associá-las com sua correta localização espacial. Nesse sentido, os topônimos (ex: nomes de localidades como cidades, países, etc.), devido à possibilidade de identificar de forma precisa determinada região espacial, apresentam-se como ideais para a identificação do contexto geográfico dos textos. Essa tarefa, denominada de Resolução de Topônimos apresenta, no entanto, desafios importantes principalmente do ponto de vista lingüístico, já que uma localidade pode possuir variados tipos de ambigüidade. Com relação a isso a principal estratégia para superar estes problemas compreende a identificação de evidências que auxiliem na identificação e desambiguação das localidades nos textos. Para essa verificação são utilizados geralmente os serviços de um ou mais dicionários toponímicos (Gazetteers). Como são criados de forma manual eles apresentam, no entanto deficiência de informações relacionadas principalmente a entidades que podem identificar, embora de forma indireta, determinados tipos de lugares como ruas, praças, universidades etc., as quais são definidas como Indicadores de Localidade. O presente trabalho propõe uma abordagem para a recuperação dessas entidades aproveitando para isso o caráter geográfico das informações jornalísticas. Para ilustrar a viabilidade do processo diferentes tipos de corpora de notícias foram testados e comparados pela habilidade de criação de Gazetteers com os Indicadores recuperados, sendo os Gazetteers avaliados então pela capacidade de identificação das cidades relacionadas às notícias testadas. Os resultados demonstram a utilidade da abordagem para o enriquecimento de Gazetteers e consequentemente para a recuperação de Indicadores de Localidade com maior simplicidade e extensibilidade que os trabalhos atuais

Abstract:
A anotação geográfica de documentos consiste na adoção de metadados para a identificação de nomes de locais e a posição de suas ocorrências no texto. Esta informação é útil, por exemplo, para mecanismos de busca. A partir dos topônimos mencionados no texto é possível identificar o contexto espacial em que o assunto do texto está inserido, o que permite agrupar documentos que se refiram a um mesmo contexto, atribuindo ao documento um escopo geográfico. Esta Dissertação de Mestrado apresenta um novo método, batizado de Geofier, para determinação do escopo geográfico de documentos. A novidade apresentada pelo Geofier é a possibilidade da identificação do escopo geográfico de um documento por meio de classificadores de aprendizagem de máquina treinados sem o uso de um gazetteer e sem premissas quanto à língua dos textos analisados. A Wikipédia foi utilizada como fonte de um conjunto de documentos anotados geograficamente para o treinamento de uma hierarquia de Classificadores Naive Bayes e Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Uma comparação de desempenho entre o Geofier e uma reimplementação do sistema Web-a-Where foi realizada em relação à determinação do escopo geográfico dos textos da Wikipédia. A hierarquia do Geofier foi treinada e avaliada de duas formas: usando topônimos do mesmo gazetteer que o Web-a-Where e usando n-gramas extraídos dos documentos de treinamento. Como resultado, o Geofier manteve desempenho superior ao obtido pela reimplementação do Web-a-Where.
Automatic text geotagging is the process by which mentions of place names and their positions in text are identified as metadata, allowing this information to be used by specialized applications, like Search Engines. It is possible to identify the geographic scope of a document by analysing the toponyms it mentions and then group documents by their geographic context, effectively adding a geographic scope to the documents. This dissertation presents a new method to identify the geographic scope of text, named Geofier. The novelty in Geofier is that it uses machine learning text classifiers, trained without the need of a gazetteer and without making assumptions regarding the language in which the documents are written. Wikipedia was used as the source for a geotagged text dataset in order to train a hierarchy of Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers. The Geofier hierarchy was then trained and evaluated, first using toponyms from the same gazetteer as Web-a-Where and then using n-grams extracted from the training samples as attributes. Geofier performed significantly better when compared to a Web-a-Where implementation.

Abstract:
O Brasil é considerado o país da megadiversidade por abrigar diversas espécies de flora e fauna. Dessa forma preservar essa diversidade é extremamente importante, pois a vida no planeta depende dos muitos ecossistemas que compõem essa biodiversidade. Atualmente, vários estudos sobre formas de recuperar e acessar informações sobre biodiversidade vem sendo discutidos na comunidade científica. Muitas instituições importantes têm disponibilizado gratuitamente seus registros de coletas disponíveis abertamente em repositórios online. No entanto, os dados disponibilizados nesses repositórios contêm informações geográficas imprecisas ou ausentes. Isso acarreta vários problemas como, por exemplo, a inviabilidade da realização de planos sistemáticos para preservar áreas para conservação de espécies ameaçadas. O problema principal para a realização desse plano é determinar com precisão a distribuição dessas espécies. Nesse contexto, o problema de pesquisa identificado é a necessidade de melhorar as informações geográficas contidas em dados sobre biodiversidade disponíveis em repositórios online. Para atacar esse problema, o SWI Gazetteer foi desenvolvido. Ele usa tecnologias da Web Semântica r técnicas de Recuperação de Informação Geográfica para associar coordenadas geográficas a nomes de lugares. Quando procuram por lugares, usuários podem realizar buscas semânticas que conseguem melhores resultados (em relação à precisão e cobertura de dados) que buscas tradicionais por palavras chaves. O Gazetteer também permite a difusão de suas informações usando formatos dos padrões Linked Open Data. Os resultados dos experimentos mostram que o SWI Gazetteer é capaz de aumentar, em até 102%, o número de registros com coordenadas geográficas em amostras representativas de repositórios de dados sobre biodiversidade bem conhecidos (como GBIF e SpecielLink).
Brazil is considered a mega-diversity country for harboring various species of flora and fauna. Therefore preserve this diversity is extremely important, because the life on the planet depends on the many ecosystems that comprise this biodiversity. Currently, several studies on how to recover and access biodiversity information are being discussed within the academic community. Various important institutions have made their biological collection records openly available in online repositories. However, the data available in these repositories contain inaccurate or missing geographic information. This leads to various problems, such as the impossibility of carrying out systematic plans to preserve areas for endangered species. The main problem in realizing these plans is to accurately determine the geographic distributions for these species. In this context, the identified research problem is the need to improve geographic information contained in biodiversity data available in the online repositories. To tackle this problem, the SemanticWeb Interactive Gazetteer (SWI Gazetteer) was developed. It uses Semantic Web technologies and Geographic Information Retrieval techniques to associate geographic coordinates to place names. When searching for places, users can perform semantic searches that achieve better results (in terms of accuracy and data coverage) than traditional keyword search. The gazetteer also allows the dissemination of its information using standard Linked Open Data formats. Experiment results shown that the SWI Gazetteer is able to increase, in up to 102%, the amount of records with geographical coordinates in representative data samples from well know biodiversity sites (such as GBIF and SpeciesLink).

Abstract:
The volume of spatial information on the Web grows continuously, both as maps and as references to places in documents and pages. Considering user needs for spatial information, it is often necessary to determine the places to which the text in a page refers. This work introduces a proposal for a new generation of gazetteers (place names dictionaries) that includes elements such as spatial relationships, concepts and related terms, essentially forming an ontology of places. This ontological gazetteer, or OntoGazetteer, provides semantic support for solving various common problems in geographic information retrieval. The validation of the proposed structure for the OntoGazetteer was achieved through case studies that covered two categories of geographic information retrieval problems: (1) detection and inference of the geographic context in texts, and (2) disambiguation of place names. These studies showed good results, which recommend the use of the OntoGazetteer in further geographic information retrieval problems.
