In history and the other humanities, events and narrative sequences of events are often of primary interest. Yet while named events sometimes appear as subject headings, systems for knowledge organization generally do not provide facilities for identifying and disambiguating events as they do for person or place names. As a result opportunities for collocating resources that pertain to specific events have been limited, and support for navigating among related resources by way of the various relationships represented by events has been weak. The accelerating digitization of document and artifact collections and the ongoing development of digital metadata infrastructure make this an excellent time to address this oversight. This paper describes ongoing research to develop gazetteers for representing events and their relationships and best practices for using such gazetteers to enhance digital resources and information services.
