Location/space model

[XanderVertegaal]

We have asked the researchers to reflect on this.

From the team's session notes:

It might be useful to have separate categories for Space/place. Ideally, this could be done on several levels: Poitiers  Monastery of Holy Cross at Poitiers  oratory at the Monastery of Holy Cross at Poitiers.

Question sent to the team on February 7th:

Distinguishing between different types of locations (e.g. political or clergical areas, buildings, general descriptors like "a cave") can help to make sense of this. We can also think of a "journey" as a kind of location onto itself. I think the primary use of locations will be as something tied to actions, so think of what information you would be adding here.

One model 'Place' with a number of fields (see PPT):

• Political regions (duchy, kingdom)
• Ecclesiastical region (bishopric)
• Landscape feature (cave, forest etc.)
• Geographical (specific, identifiable; with coordinates)
• Site (Regensburg, monastery of Toulouse)
• Location (specification of Site: room within monastery; square within village etc.)
