List of place names in Welkait (Tigray, Ethiopia), as recorded in 1939
<p>There are attempts to offer a <em>post-hoc</em> justification of the military conquest and ethnic cleansing of Western Tigray by the combined Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Amhara forces in late 2020. For this purpose, an "eternal Amharic character" of Welkait and the surrounding districts is invoked. Historical records, however, show a typical Tigrayan rural landscape. We analysed the notebooks of ethnographer Giovanni Ellero, holding field notes from Welkait in the 1930s and extracted a list of 574 place names as recorded by Ellero and his translators. The etymology of almost all place names is of Tigrinya origin, with a few of Oromo, Falasha, Arab or biblical origin. In the whole list of place names, there are less than ten locations that in 1939 held a name of Amharic origin. More specifically, among the 574 place names, there are 229 “’Addi …” (village in Tigrinya) and 49 “May …” (water).</p>
"I made the recording because Iam an amateur recording engineer and also work for a radio station. At the time, Iwas researching for a religious programme, for the radio and by pure chance and good luck, Iwas in the centre of York at the time the street preacher was there. Iam building up a personal library of 'ambient sounds' to use on various radio shows as 'sound effects'. The recording was taken outside St Helen's Church in St Helen's Square, in the centre of York. There was a fairly large crowd walking about, shopping. It was a Saturday. Some people were standing and listening to the man, some were mocking him, others didn't even notice. It was a sunny day, with a slight wind. St Helen's square is a large 'meeting place' for people with seats, flowers and usually musicians. I live in the centre of York and hear a lot of very interesting sounds there, everything from busking musicians, to many foreign languages, church bells, animals and much more. Ireally liked the recording of the preacher as it is quite clear that he passionately believes what he is saying. He was unaware that Iwas recording him. Iwish Ihad captured his whole sermon. He, and other members of his church visit the centre of York quite often, and preach there. Idon't know the name of his church." [Jools/vedas]19 in Collecting Sounds.

"The sound comes from a meadow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The meadow is at an elevation of 2400 meters near a mountain named Olancha Peak, which is 3700 meters in altitude. Ihave a group of friends with which Ibackpack (trek) into the mountains. Our goal was to spend some time in the mountains and hike to the top of Olancha Peak (…) By the time we reached the meadow, we were in a forest and there was still snow on the ground in some places. We took the trip in June of 2006. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are a large mountain range. Much of the range is protected by national parks or preserved areas we call 'wilderness areas' (…) Ihave been backpacking for nearly 40 years and Iwill hopefully continue with this challenging activity for 40 years more! Many of my friends are much younger than Iam and it gives me much satisfaction to be able to have as much or more stamina for this activity than they have! When we are on these trips, we hike up peaks, catch fish, drink some whiskey around campfires and enjoy our time in the beautiful solitude. My memories of this trip were of the steep, hot hike from the desert to the cool meadow; the overall beauty of the nature, the absolute solitude of our campsite near the meadow; the strenuous hike to the top of Olancha Peak; the camaraderie of my friends; and, of course the sound of the frogs in the meadow. The frog sounds were astounding to me and Iwould listen in awe of the creature's instinctual desire to reproduce and continue the existence of their kind. Surely there were different species in the meadow for some of the frog sounds were different than others. The sounds only occurred after the Sun went down for the evening. Istood next to the creek in the meadow and recorded the sounds using my digital camera." [Peter/plentz1960]16 in Collecting Sounds. Online Sharing of Field Recordings as Cultural Practice

Place name data for "Skeid – uncovering a fleeting meeting site"
<p>The data contains the spatial distribution of 320 skeid (<em>skeið</em> n.) -names that are closer than two kilometres from a medieval church site, or one or more of the following place names: <em>hov/hof, ting</em>, or<em> leik/lek</em>. Through an examination of the landscape, archaeological finds and place names, 37 sites are highlighted as most likely to have hosted a skeid-type assembly. From these four case studies are discussed more in detail in the paper "Skeid – uncovering a fleeting meeting site"</p>
Alpiner Ortsnamen Gazeteer/Mountaineering Place Name Gazeteer
<p>The unified gazetteer for this project was derived from 6 sources named here as local gazetteers. Entries from these gazeteers were automatically matched to the Alpenwort Corpus, its Table of Content and to the OeAV Photo Index. All matches where integrated in the file "mount_place_name_gaz.txt". For these 6 gazetteers a matching of the place types present in these gazetteers to broader categories was performed and the matching is in the file "gaz_union_thes.txt".</p> <p>details on semanticmountain.at</p>

From one place to a different place: problems of vocabulary control of geographic names and concepts
<p>Although apparently easily understood and straightforward to manage, the representation of place as a concept in indexing descriptions can be subject to subtle nuances of meaning and interpretation. A current re-classification project at the British Museum Anthropology Library reveals that a place can be understood in different ways, and defined using a variety of criteria. This is in addition to the conventional problems of vocabulary control of geographic names caused by the occurrence of official, local, and vernacular names, and the form of name in different natural languages.<br>The use of well formulated design principles for the construction of faceted knowledge organization systems can provide a solution for both organization and representation of place concepts. When applied, such principles create classification data that is readily comprehended and managed by machines, and software which supports the automatic generation of knowledge organization tools.</p>
