Recogito Geo plugin

With the Recogito-JS geotagging-widget, you can use the Recogito-JS or Annotorious framework to add annotations to text or images regarding geographical locations. To do this, you can use the pre-wired OpenStreetMap-Nominatim gazetteer, or the WorldHistoricalGazetteer, or wire in your own Gazetteer of preference. With a gazetteer, you can provide a textual name of a place, and retrieve the geolocation of this place. The WorldHistoricalGazetteer, a project to which the HuC contributed, contains a lot of (historical) place-names and variants of these names. Furthermore it is possible to add your own geolocation by drawing on a map. This allows for custom geolocations that are not yet part of any gazetteer.
