Importing Gazetteers

In order to use geo-annotation functionality, you need to import one or more gazetteers. Recogito supports upload of data files conforming to the Pelagios Gazetteer Interconnection Format. At the moment, the following gazetteers are available in this format :

• Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire. An up-to-date data file is hosted at http://dare.ht.lu.se/export_pelagios3.ttl.gz (For convenience, a snapshot of this file, taken on February 2018 is also included in the /gazetteers folder of the Recogito repository.)

• Vici.org. RDF/XML file at http://vici.org/vici/all/rdf

• China Historical GIS. Zipped RDF/Turtle file at http://github.com/vajlex/tgaz/tree/master/data/rdf

You can track progress through Recogito's JSON Place API at http://localhost:9000/api/place/search?q=*&pretty=true
