Example of attempt to enter a period -- what's missing from interface currently about periodo-client HOT 8 CLOSED

Which spatial gazetteer do you have in mind?

from periodo-client.

Sub-periods rely on periodo/periodo-data#15. You should enter these into the editorial notes for now.

Spatial coverage is partially remedied by f499073, which allows a user to choose a previously constituted spatial coverage description. This should be okay in the short term, however, there are some deeper issues here that we need to discuss.

Labels and alternate languages rely on periodo/periodo-data#16. I'd like to fix this today instead of punting to the editorial notes.

"Derived from" in #15 is different from sub-periods (= "broader" in the spreadsheet). Derived from means a new period is a modification of an existing period (like, I'm using Shelmerdine's definition of LMIIIB, but I want to push the end-date down 50 years). A sub-period is like splitting Iron Age into Iron Age I, Iron Age II, etc. The first is genetic, the second hierarchical.

For spatial coverage, I'll take anything that can provide URIs and polygons for regional administrative divisions (e.g. "Sicily", "Toscana", "Texas") and for continental aggregations (e.g. "Europe", "North America", "Africa"). Geonames will at least resolve eastern, southern, northern Europe etc (e.g. http://www.geonames.org/7729883/northern-europe.html), and handles regions (e.g. http://www.geonames.org/2523119/sicilia.html). Does DBpedia do this too?

Let's discuss these in separate issues.

I moved spatial coverage to #26

Adam- I think I've addressed most of these things with my local development version. I'm just going to finish the label issues tomorrow and the newest version will be ready on Tuesday.

Editing labels fixed in 5c67039

All of these are possible to add in the editing interface except for derivedFrom information, which we can discuss in #16.
