Materials for the production of a historical gazetteer of the Ottoman empire.

Initial aims:

• a vocabulary of Ottoman administrative units
• a linkable database of Ottoman provinces, subprovinces, major cities, and other generally-agreed geospatial objects

Data

The initial dataset is detailed at a Github repository.

Structure

Insofar as possible, I am replicating wikidata's items and properties. My model is the JSTOR Labs Wikibase.

Querying
