Refining Geographic Attribution
The locations of our geographic entities will have four gross classes of attribution:
- None
- The class of entities for which there is no known geographic location.
- Weak
- The class of entities which have weakly attributed locations, and can not be plausibly placed on a map. For example: "island in the Aegean", "on the Adriatic Coast", "East of the Danube River".
- Approximate
- The class of entities which have locations attributed strongly enough that they can be plausibly placed on a map. This corresponds to the Barrington Atlas's approximate certainty of locations.
- Known
- Corresponds to the BA's known certainty of location.
