Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Navigocorpus is a database which stores information about shipping information from the XVIth century on. Each travel is stored as a list of chronologically ordered points (ports and high-sea points). Any kind of information items (taxes paid, cargo items loaded and unloaded, commercial operations, sea hazards, characterization of the point or of the ship, etc.) can be linked to any point. The result is a highly flexible and powerful tool. Any kind of extra information can be inserted at any moment, from original sources or existing databases. Navigocorpus is based on FileMaker. Any kind of data processing is allowed. It was elaborated as part of a French ANR research project, and is based on FileMaker.
