I think this, and the indices (most of which ones in IOSPE are done) is best done via RDF: even if some of the data is present in local TEI/EpiDoc, lots of the data is likely to be available in external RDF data sources. So we need to decide on an ontology to use 'internally' for all of this, so that we can query it. Having done some of this already for the benefit of the facets that make use of authority lists for the facet item names, I've used geonames:Feature and geonames:alternateName so far, but that's easily changed.

I would look into the Pleiades name and place ontology, and the Pelagios geoannotation ontology, as both are likely to be closer to our needs than Geonames. Can discuss this more (or better, put you in touch with people who know the field better than I) later...

Is there any chance that this feature (mapping of inscriptions based on geographic markup--via RDF or otherwise) will be implemented in EFES 1.0? If not, let's reassign this ticket to the "Future Work" milestone, and leave it alone for now.
