520 "Well before the innovation of maps, gazetteers served as
the main geographic referencing system for hundreds of
years. Consisting of a specialized index of place names,
gazetteers traditionally linked descriptive elements with
topographic features and coordinates. Placing Names is
inspired by that tradition of discursive place-making and
by contemporary approaches to digital data management that
have revived the gazetteer and guided its development in
recent decades. Adopted by researchers in the Digital
Humanities and Spatial Sciences, gazetteers provide a way
to model the kind of complex cultural, vernacular, and
perspectival ideas of place that can be located in texts
and expanded into an interconnected framework of naming
history. This volume brings together leading and emergent
scholars to examine the history of the gazetteer, its
important role in geographic information science, and its
use to further the reach and impact of spatial reasoning
into the digital age."--|cProvided by Freading.
