Annotating Places
Use the Pleiades Gazetteer as the source for stable identifiers for place names, via the following steps:
- Open a new window or tab in your browser
- Navigate to http://pleiades.stoa.org/
- Enter the name of the place (in English) in the Search box and click Search
- Browse the search results
- If you have found the right place, copy the Canonical URI (which can be found near the top of the page)
- Return to the tab with the Smith’s dictionary and Hypothes.is enabled
- Paste the Canonical URI of your place as the body of your annotation
- add the keywords ‘place’ and ‘PSN’ in the tags
