Materials for the production of a historical gazetteer of the Ottoman empire.
Initial aims:
- a vocabulary of Ottoman administrative units
- a linkable database of Ottoman provinces, subprovinces, major cities, and other generally-agreed geospatial objects
- April 27, 2016: posted tsv spreadsheet of 6411 adminsitrative units
- May 2016: many revisions and refinements to the spreadsheet
- June 2016: initial rdf dump of <1000 provinces, subprovinces, and some seats, as well as very preliminary outline of an ontology.
