Hello,

Thanks for stopping by. You are welcome to join this group if you have an interest in formats for representing places and sharing place information as Linked Open Data. Discussion will focus on the Linked Place format (LPF) first developed in 2018-2019 for use by  World Historical Gazetteer and several other Pelagios Network partner projects, including Recogito and Peripleo.

LPF has seen increasing interest and uptake in recent months, and this group is a forum for its community of adopters and maintainers to work out how it can be improved, and what software tools would be useful for working with it.

So, please post and respond! All ideas and feedback are welcome.

cheers
