The content of this module is based on teaching materials prepared
by Tjeerd Tichelaar. These teaching materials are made available
in the "documents"
section.
The module contains the following
chapters:
Introduction
Chapter 1: Coping with
choices and contraints
Chapter 2:
Producing the names index
Chapter 3:
Geographical names database
Chapter 4:
Issues specific to international productions
Chapter 5: An editor's
viewpoint / Conclusion
The theory described in the above chapters
has been illustrated, as much as possible, with practical examples
made available by Noordhoff Publishers (the Netherlands). These
examples can be recognized because they are printed in grey.
When reading through the following
pages, you will come across some unusual terms. These terms are
hyperlinked to the UNGEGN Glossary
of Terminology (pdf).
Behind each term a number (#) is given that corresponds to the
numbering applied in this glossary, e.g. toponymy
(#344).
For exercises and documents (and
literature) on this topic see respectively the "Excercises"
and/or the "Documents"
section of this module.
