How can this image of a
Sassanian seal from the 5th
century C.E. be located in a
collection?

WHERE Gazetteer Map
e.g. NGA
Data location is now shown in a map generated
by using latitude longitude markup

Gazetteer shows
alternate names
Place name is tied to
coordinates

WHEN Time period directory Timeline
e.g. HumanSaga
Directory of
“named time
periods
![Page 7: Cultural Heritage Markup Strategies Bibliotheca Alexandria –Digital Library of the Middle East –January, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649eb05503460f94bb5d54/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TimeMap with GIS
draws a map with the
polygons for empires.
Instruction for this
procedure is contained in the named
time periods
![Page 8: Cultural Heritage Markup Strategies Bibliotheca Alexandria –Digital Library of the Middle East –January, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649eb05503460f94bb5d54/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Multiple maps can be created for comparison
![Page 9: Cultural Heritage Markup Strategies Bibliotheca Alexandria –Digital Library of the Middle East –January, 2006](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649eb05503460f94bb5d54/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
So a similar solution: A gazetteer-like Time Period Directory.
Gazetteer:
Place name – Type – Spatial markers (Lat & long) -- When
Time Period Directory
Period name – Type – Time markers (Calendar) – Where
Note the symmetry.
Note the connections between Where and When.
A directory of 2,000 named time periods derived from LCSH Chronological subdivisions is at ecai.org/imls2004
Relationship between place names & period names

WHEN and Who. These named time periods are derived from Library of Congress catalog subject headings and so can be used for catalog searching which finds books on topics important for that time period.

WHEN, WHERE and WHO. Catalog records found from a time period search commonly include names of persons important at that time. Their names can be forwarded to, e.g., biographies in the Wikipedia encyclopedia.

Records from Internet accessible resources
From a Clearinghouse search we find
registered items.
We find the Ottoman
Empire, that can be mapped.
The markup allows links to
be opened
