MoEML Gazetteer Application Profile

Purpose

To document how Map of Early Modern London gazetteer data is modelled for compatibility with the wider LINCS data model. This document provides patterns used in the mapping of Map of Early Modern London gazetteer data which correspond to the categories outlined in the LINCS Application Profile.

This document introduces class and property concepts as used in this specific context (LINCS and the Map of Early Modern London gazetteer dataset), and are not complete definitions. Consult CIDOC CRM v. 7.1.1 documentation for full class and property descriptions.
