Sample text
Breandán Mac Giolla Choille (1962), The Irish Manuscript Commission. 3 6 Abstrac t Machine Humanities in GIS A series of databases using information from the Books was created to map the religious demographic transformation of Irish land ownership in the wake of Cromwell’s invasion and Parliament’s redistribution acts. Here, the barony functions as the unit of scale to illustrate the seventeenth-century land transfer from Catholics to Protestants and distinguish between total, profitable, and unprofitable acreage.
However, Petty laid out their tasks in simple detail, designing and constructing simple tools that enabled them to observe and collect the data he specifically wanted. Petty’s surveyors had only to record locations and measure distances by chain lengths he provided. They sent the collected information to the Central Office in Dublin, where Petty supervised a group of trained cartographers who collated and drafted the data onto grid paper. In this sense, he instituted a seventeenth-century “geographical information system” of Ireland, which because of its structure and attention to topographical detail, can be imported, without much alteration, into the digital platform of a twenty-first-century GIS.
