Publish-able as dump files (no triple store required)
De-coupled from your data infrastructure – no impact onschemas, conceptual models, technology
Pelagios data license is independent from the data itself – only annotations need to be CC

Pelagios 3 | (Partly) Future Work
Pelagios 3 | Technology Topics
Aligning Gazetteers- Linking based on “connectivity through common references”- Using GeoNames and Wikidata as shared reference system
Automating Annotation- Geo-Parsing (Text -> Toponyms)- Geo-Resolution (Toponyms -> Gazetteer IDs)- Image processing to identify toponyms on maps scans- Workflows & tools for expert correction
Visualizing Pelagios Data- Visualizing the “Pelagios Network”- Publishing annotated materials (where possible)
Pelagios 3 | Open Source
Pelagios uses Open Source – e.g.- Stanford NLP Toolkit and Edina Unlock Geoparser- Lucene index engine- Neo4j graph database- OpenCV computer vision library- Leaflet, D3 et al.
Pelagios develops Open Source – e.g.- Scalagios- Pelagios Data Toolbelt- API & Visualization Workbench- http://github.com/pelagios
