Description

This is a short paper abstract for Spatial Humanities 2022. 

The juxtaposed perspectives of historians and archaeologists on early medieval settlement patterns and, by extension, on the gradual formation of feudal landscapes and the dynamics of incorporation within them are likely to emerge from a lack of data integration. Our contribution will introduce an interoperable semantic code for data-modelling that facilitates (and even encourages) communication across disciplines, thus allowing us to integrate data notwithstanding the origin of the information sources. As preliminary results, we will report the possibilities that qualitative spatial reasoning is offering to us together with spatial query language.
