As a product of the DISSINET project, Adam Mertel and David Zbíral have co-authored a paper on “Mining multiple sources of historical data: The example of a standardized dataset of medieval monasteries and convents in France”. The paper was presented at the International Cartographic Conference held in Tokyo in July 2019 and published in the Proceedings of the International Cartographic Association, Volume 2, 2019.
