I've just posted some more tools for helping you determine the BAtlas IDs to go with your existing geographic names or other information.<br /><br />There's now a draft "<a href="http://atlantides.org/batlas/ba-index-with-ids.pdf"><span style="font-style: italic;">Barrington Atlas</span> Index with Identifiers</a>". In PDF (watch out: 7.2 MB) it looks like:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6XsrMT6FI/AAAAAAAAABw/a7pV23zz6p4/s1600-h/pdfeg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 201px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6XsrMT6FI/AAAAAAAAABw/a7pV23zz6p4/s400/pdfeg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345376601499756626" border="0" /></a><br />It's also available in a 1.0 MB <a href="http://atlantides.org/batlas/ba-index-with-ids.html.zip">zip-compressed HTML version</a>, with somewhat semantic class attributes on spans that could be used to parse out different themes ahead of an attempt to match it to a names list:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6YT8_ZYZI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EKjmvrpNnBw/s1600-h/htmleg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 190px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6YT8_ZYZI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EKjmvrpNnBw/s400/htmleg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345377276292325778" border="0" /></a>And of course there is already the home-brewed XML format we distributed the original IDs in (<a href="http://atlantides.org/batlas/2008-09-04/baids-2008-09-04.tgz">last release tar-gzipped archive</a>):<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6Y98xRHDI/AAAAAAAAACA/PH83IPv_KaU/s1600-h/xmleg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 386px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tcSZVmUJxp0/Si6Y98xRHDI/AAAAAAAAACA/PH83IPv_KaU/s400/xmleg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345377997787569202" border="0" /></a>Share and enjoy!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7099013253406999323-8941164756480099058?l=horothesia.blogspot.com'/></div>Tom Elliotthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10480131160743773420noreply@blogger.com0
