This document discusses semantic annotation using Recogito and Pelagios. It provides an overview of what Pelagios is for linking data and gazetteer URIs. It describes how Recogito can be used to annotate texts, images, and documents by identifying entities and linking them to authoritative gazetteers. The workshop also showed how annotation allows users to map texts, compare texts, map maps, and link additional data resources to facilitate connecting historical information through shared places.
