Abstract:
Identifying and referencing places is important for many fields of research. Very different approaches of how to represent administrative structures on the Semantic Web can be found. This survey attempts to provide a broad overview of systems that work on (historic) administrative information. We present a classification for such systems, with special attention to the difference that arise from the processing of historic data. We also describe a sample of systems which approach the problem in very different ways. We conclude by evaluating which of the presented characteristics make a system universal and future-proof.
