In today's entry, the following events are modelled:

  • Samuel rides to Barkway, en route to Cambridge, where he meets a letter-carrier.
  • He carries on to Cambridge with the letter-carrier.
  • He visits his cousin at the Assizes at Castle Hill.
  • He dines with his cousins Roger and John, and a gentleman named Claxton.
  • He drinks in the Rose Tavern with some others.
  • He finally travels to Impington with his cousins.

Not much development today (phew!). I created an instance of Assizes for the Cambridge Assizes, and did a bit of research to find the Pepys' house in Impington was Impington Hall. Samuel mentions travelling to Impington with Roger Pepys “and his two brothers”, but the only brother of Roger I can identify is (Dr) John Pepys, so I have had to create a local topic for him (Unnamed brother of Roger Pepys). Should he ever be identified the PSI can be added.

Another short entry today. Samuel spends the morning at the office, dines with his cousin and is visited by his brother, and then rides to Ware (en route to Cambridge); having an enlightening conversation with a Quaker on the way.

I introduced a practises religion association to document the Quaker's religion. I've also added this to Joseph Hill in people, as he is a Presbyter:

/* From ontology */

[practises-religion = "Practises Religion"

= "Practised By" / practised

@"http://www.techquila.com/psi/culture/#practises-religion"]

[practised = "Practised"

@"http://www.techquila.com/psi/culture/#practised"]

[adherent = "Adherent"

@"http://www.techquila.com/psi/culture/#adherent"]

/* From people */

practises-religion ( joseph-hill : adherent, presbyterianism : practised )

Other than that, I've added an en route to role in the travelling list to show when the described journey is a stage on the way to another place.

In celebration of the first month of the Pepys Map, I've uploaded a zip file of all the entries for July, including my retrospective revisions and editorial tidying. The zip file also includes all the ontological files, and 166107.ltm which is a simple map that merges all the others. If you can't be bothered with all of that, then 166107.xtm is the whole lot pre-merged as XTM.

I haven't overwritten the current uploads with the amended entries, in case Kal comes back from holiday and really hates what I've done; so 166107.zip is the “guest editor's” view of the month, venison pasties and all.
