Terra Chartarum

    A Terra Chartarum programme

    Corpus Chartarum Daciae

    Seven trenches cut into the same ground from different directions: what a place was called, what the record declines to say, where a frontier was moved, what a map was made to prove. They share one corpus and one Atlas, and none of them owns either.

    The trenches

    Each trench is an argument with its own evidence and its own six gates. A gate that has not passed is stated rather than hidden, because a programme that reports only its finished work is not reporting.

    How the records connect

    These paths are compiled from identifiers that already resolve across registries. They show the graph that exists now, not the links planned trenches are expected to acquire. The attestation tier remains research-only until a named reviewer clears its records.

    Shared infrastructure

    The corpus and the Atlas layers belong to the programme. A trench reads them; it does not keep its own copy. The generated graph counts the shared records each compiler actually reads; a prose note cannot put a trench on this list. 2 trenches currently consume shared corpus records.

    Workstreams

    Work that serves every trench rather than belonging to one.

    • Dacia acquisition dossiers planned

      plate/state verification ahead of purchase

    • Dacia Atlas layers planned

      shared GIS family and CND projection

    • Programme index and cross-trench integration planned

      programme landing page and cycle closeout

    • Corpus Nominum Daciae live

      canonical place/source/attestation authority

    The cycle's index

    Terra Sigillata is the programme's intellectual index. Its thirteen strata are the periods every other trench cuts through, and its four test pits are where the corpus began: the exhibition was the corpus before there was one, and its records migrated into the shared authorities rather than being copied beside them.

    It is read here as an index and not extended as one. No stone was added to it, and none will be: a trench that needs a new period writes its own argument rather than enlarging the one that came first.
