The geodatabase

Once our initial data extraction and cleaning had been done, our next task was to create a database for normalizing the data found in the TEI files and for providing a basis for further study.20 Using an industry-standard Relational Database Management System,21 we were able to store a gazetteer of ancient locations, snippets of the Greek and English texts, and the place references that link them together.22 Importantly, this database could simultaneously link to different kinds of cartographic technologies, allowing us to locate the Histories’ textual geodata (i.e. the ‘place names’) on a map (Fig. 8.2).
