roman-amphitheaters
A re-usable list of Roman Amphitheaters. Currently formatted as geojson with a json-ld context. It's very incomplete as, depending on how you define the term, there are some 200+ amphitheaters known from the Roman world.
Some of this data comes from Wikipedia's list of Roman amphitheaters at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Roman_amphitheatres . I used that as a starting point but have made corrections.
The basic json object for a "record" is:
{
"type": "Feature",
"id":"arlesAmphitheater",
"properties": {
"dcterms:title": "Amphitheater at Arles",
"rdfs:seeAlso": "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arles_Amphitheatre",
"dcterms:created":90,
"capacity": 20000
},
"geometry": {
"type": "Point",
"coordinates": [
4.631111, 43.677778
]
}
}

As a convenience, here's a link that validates the geojson in the above file:
What's the purpose? To explore reusable data. If it becomes a complete list of amphitheaters, that's a pleasant side-effect.
