Every newly-arrived community seems to have captured the native features. Regardless looking what their origins or from where they come this Anatolian culture, local features of which overrides, takes its base from Anatolia＇s distinctive geopolitical location. Situated in the crossroads of world＇s most beautiful and important roads Anatolia has lots of different geographical features that are isolated from each other by chain of mountains and include many units. And this allowed the peninsula to have different cultural features in almost every period of history. In Anatolia that has a very dynamic history, one of the most important element changing in time is the name of places. Despite the fact that there is not a precision in the change of names, it is generally related with the language used by prevailing public.展开更多

With the research on the topic of open application of historical geography data in libraries, this paper tries to explore the methods of application of Historical Geography for Digital Humanities in libraries and how the libraries can use the methods of knowledge organization and Name Authority Control to help researchers in humanity area to use Historical Geography Data during their research work, and then publish the data on the Web to make it ready for open application and easily sharing with other libraries. This paper focuses on the spatial-temporal modeling based on ontology and technology framework based on Linked Data, which are designed for the opening application of historical geography data in the environment of Internet.展开更多
