Place

Places in OTS are locations: cities, buildings, rooms, trails, bodies of water, neighborhoods, the corner where two streets meet that you remember for a reason. A Place is somewhere a thing happened, or somewhere you have been, or somewhere a person lived. If a note is about a where, it is a Place.

Place notes carry the standard fields plus the basics of geography: aliases, region, country, coordinates if they matter. Most Place notes here use only some of these. The childhood home has no coordinates. That is fine.

The Place subtypes used in this corpus are Institution (a place that is also an organization, like a university or a church) and Location (everywhere else). Both inherit the Place schema.

The Place notes in this corpus mix institutional places where the philosophical work happened (Oxford, Notre Dame) with personal places the narrator passes through in a week (the childhood home, the flea market, the trail, the church their mother attends, the tavern). Both belong in the same vault. That is part of the point.

This page is itself a Place note. Every other Place in the corpus has type: [[Place]], which is why the backlinks panel on the right is the index of Place notes. Click any of them.
