===Sanudo's Diary===


The Diaries of Marin Sanudo represent one of the most comprehensive daily records of events ever compiled by a single individual in early modern Europe. They offer insights into various aspects of Venetian life, from "diplomacy to public spectacles, politics to institutional practices, state councils to public opinion, mainland territories to overseas possessions, law enforcement to warfare, the city's landscape to the lives of its inhabitants, and from religious life to fashion, prices, weather, and entertainment".[2]

== Project Process ==




We identified three APIs which we could use to locate whether an entity exists in Venice or not. These were: Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), WikiData, and Geonames. We settled on Nominatim as the chief API, since it was the easiest to use and offered the most consistent results. Thus, we created a pipeline to extract place entities from the Sanudo's index and use the Nominatim API to search if the entity exists in Venice, and store the co-ordinates if so.
