'Anonymous' places from John of Ephesus #71

Open wlpotter opened 9 months ago

wlpotter commented 9 months ago

There are a handful of new place records coming from John of Ephesus (new URIs 5650-5660 in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mM6dhU85Qd0Gv_DtaQVR7wdsWLTfshoh/edit#gid=2092243976). These have 'names' in the "Unidentified places" column that seem somewhat similar to the "Anonymous Description" we use in persons.

Options to consider:

  1. Implement something similar to anonymous desc in places (e.g., <placeName srophe:tags="#syriaca-anonymous-desc">Prose description of a place</placeName)
  2. Use these brief descriptions as the headword as-is
  3. Ask J of E to write more concise headwords

We can also wait to transform these until we discuss
