Oh Twitter, the wedge we use to widen those small gaps into multi hour productivity sinks... And we're not kidding anyone, bsky is no different.

Well he (Nigel) IS rather unpleasant.

I was just listening to the @theresthistory.bsky.social series on Hitler's path to power and this is no spoiler or anything new - the parralels are chilling. And what made it even worse is that a versy similar thing is happening in Israel as we speak.

Now that I have mastered the details and structures for this, I’ll be glad to build and possibly host similar services for on-line repositories. [#DigitalHumanities] (3/3)

data.geo-kima.org, started by @sinai-rusinek.bsky.social and curated and maintained by the both of us. The service has been tested for reconciliation in OpenRefine and is based on the W3 specification. Free to use. [#DigitalHumanities] (2/3)

3/2 Now that I have the c# template and Azure serverless cost-free service, I'll be glad to work with anyone interested in adding a reconciliation service for their data. You can contact me at gil.shalit@gmail.com.

2/2 The service is obviously based on Kima, the Hebrew place name gazetteer @sinai-rusinek.bsky.social and I maintain at data.geo-kima.org, which just recieved a 50% increase in the amount of name variants. Enjoy and please let us know what you will be using the service for.
