====== Loca terrarum in CroALa ====== //Operis ratio//. Scire volumus quid auctores Croatici de locis terrarum (novis et veteribus) senserint. Procedendum est hoc modo (Anglice): - prepare a list of Latin place names. Ancient ones can be extracted from [[http://pleiades.stoa.org/downloads|Pleiades Project data dumps]]. - compare the list to the list of words in CroALa to find overlaps (tricky: think about cases, crazy orthography; e. g. a list for querying CroALa looks like [[z:croala-longa-rara|this]]) - get the data: which places are mentioned, which are not (tricky: are there any significant omissions?) - analyze the data: which places are mentioned more often, which rarely? - analyze the data: **how** are the places mentioned? What are they used for? Who uses placenames in interesting ways? - can we propose a typology?
