While we recognise that any selection is inherently subjective, we have based our choices on several factors: the content of the source material (what appears most frequently), the relevance of themes for the widest range of research interests (which domains and information are most essential for diverse questions and research types), and the potential for contributing new perspectives and histories (especially for studying local and non-Western societies, globalisation, and histories of colonisation and encounter). @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ Key infrastructure components that allow querying on entities and events, and pr 3. **Ontology** The ontology structures relations between entities, concepts, and events. -The labour-intensive development of these components, especially high-quality reference data and ontologies, requires strategic choices about the scope and coverage of themes and contextualisation efforts.

This enables us to plot all such events that are suggestive of troubled interactions which involve actors such as the polities Banten and the VOC, together with other relevant information such as when and where these events occurred. Users will therefore be able to sift through the archive and search for precisely those passages which signal conflict or conquest. -In the [overview of our guiding key research questions](mission/themes-queries.md), we will for each question indicate how these are related to different domains of our historical reference data for entities (and conversions and events), as well as for different sections of the thesauri and event ontology. +In the [overview of our guiding key research questions](mission/themes-questions.md), we will for each question indicate how these are related to different domains of our historical reference data for entities (and conversions and events), as well as for different sections of the thesauri and event ontology. ## Current Status
