Airlines and Companies and Enterprises (and Concordances)

…like all the other datasets we’ve published we’ve modeled “enterprises” as Who’s On First documents. Which, let’s be clear, is not really what Who’s On First was designed for. This is SFO Museum piggy-backing on an existing project and then starting to push it in new directions to suit our needs.

More old maps and more-better architectures

More old maps and more-better architectures
