本文介绍了将旧地图、描述性地名词典和大型旅行文献库集成到英国历史 GIS 中，提出了一系列对不同历史来源进行地理参考的方法。虽然前面的部分重点关注法律定义的行政区域和统计报告单位，但这些定性来源涉及不太正式的地理区域。本文通过两种方式将这些与行政单位联系起来：地点包含在单位内，但单位以地点命名，因此从属于它们。虽然拒绝现有的地名词典数据标准，但该方法与历史地名研究人员的方法非常一致。最后一部分描述了该结构如何与搜索引擎交互以支持一个非常受终身学习者欢迎的网站。
This article describes the integration of old maps, descriptive gazetteers, and a large library of travel writing into the Great Britain Historical GIS, presenting a range of approaches to geo-referencing diverse historical sources. While previous parts focused on legally defined administrative areas and statistical reporting units, these qualitative sources concern a less formal geography of places. The article links these to administrative units in two ways: Places are contained within units, but units are named after places and are consequently subsidiary to them. While rejecting existing gazetteer data standards, the approach aligns well with that of historical place-name researchers. The final section describes how the structure interacts with search engines to support a very popular website for lifelong learners.
