Perspectives let you display faceted understandings of= a place.
Pers= pectives are specific to the Places Knowledge Maps site. They let you switc= h between different place trees, each with a different "perspective" or foc= us. This lets you create nuanced relationships between two places. Let's co= nsider the relationship between Charlottesville and Albemarle<= /span>.
Charlottesville is "in" Albemarle = geographically, but Albemarle isn't the county for the city. In= stead, Charlottesville is an independent city. Residents will use "Cha= rlottesville" as their county and city in official forms.
You can switch perspectives from the Knowledge Maps editors by selecting= Perspectives from the Main Menu. We've included a de= tailed step-by-step guide at the bottom of the page. We've also listed each= perspective here, with examples.
Show places that are culturally significant, but that may not have offic= ial government designations. Only use this if no other perspective fits you= r needs.
Example: movie theaters, informal neighborhood bou= ndaries
Shows regions that are significant to electoral processes.
Example: Virginia's 10th district.
Shows place designations that no longer exist, but are historically important.
Example: the thirteen British colonies that became= the USA.
Shows official places with administrative significance.
Example: District of Columbia, Virginia, Albermarl= e county.
Shows relationships based purely on location. Feature A can be "located = in," "centered in," "near," etc. feature B. This perspective involves only = geographical criteria for relationships, with no other considerations. Don'= t use this for any relationship that isn't solely geographical. <= /p>
Example: An ancient polity could be "located in" a= contemporary administrative unit. This would mean the geographical area of= the ancient polity was within the modern administrative unit: we can refer= ence the modern place's footprint to illustrate the latter's area.
Shows monasteries, pilgrimage routes, sacred sit= es, sacred mountains, and other networks of religious relationships between= features.
Example: Miqat, Mina, and Mecca are all important&= nbsp;places during Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage. They share a relations= hip from the religious perspective.
Shows relationships relevant to organizations or internal organizational= units.
Example: Google's headquarters are in Mountainview= , CA, but it has other offices worldwide. These offices share an organizati= onal relationship.
This is a relationship between features = that pertain to administration. It does not include the relationship betwee= n governmental units, such as counties being within prefectures. For these,= use the "administrative units" perspective.
Shows natural feature relationships, or other relationships relating to = the physical landscape.
Example: Mount Elbert is the highest peak of the&n= bsp;Rocky Mountains. A mountain and its mountain range share a relationship= from the environmental perspective.
Shows the relationships between buildings: a single structure might be p= art of a large building complex or site.
Example: The Vitra Design Museum in Germany includ= es multiple buildings with architectural significance. These buildings all = share relationships from the site relationship perspective.
