MAJW: Planning for names and places
: Martin Holmes
Minutes: 80
Attended a team meeting where it was decided that we will a) refine the names listing
so that only canonical forms of names are headwords (these can be retrieved from the
<forename> element), b) refine and expand the referencing of places
so that we characterize the relationship between the event or person and the place
via a typology, and get more specific about places, including more towns and
cities.
On Thursday, reworked the list of name variants again, to make it more useful following the team’s request.
