Description
We will present challenges for a digital edition of an 18th-century gazetteer with 18000 entries on places in the Americas. Challenges range from OCR via applying TEI (dictionary module), orthographic variance, homonym disambiguation and coverage in "matching resources", to the extensive use of relative terminology for places in the prose.
