The growing use of geographic information systems (GIS) and geographical analyses in different areas the digital humanities highlights need for geocoding, i.e. assigning coordinates to records a dataset. Such spatially-referenced datasets are precondition any spatial analysis visualization. While GIS general is dynamically evolving branch software development, there specialized applications which would assist researchers geocoding history, archaeology, humanities. Therefore, we developed “Historical Geocoding Assistant”, an open-source web tool that meets specific needs historical research brings solution data convenient, fast, reliable way.

متن کاملEfficient Error-Correcting Geocoding
We study the problem of resolving a perhaps misspelled address of a location into geographic coordinates of latitude and longitude. Our data structure solves this problem within a few milliseconds even for misspelled and fragmentary queries. Compared to major geographic search engines such as Google or Bing we achieve results of significantly better quality.
