(NB. I was going to write this post as a TIP, but upon further reflection, I'd thought I'd ask it as a question to see if anyone has suggestions as to alternative ways of doing this.)
I recently finished reading through Xenophon's Anabasis from the Perseus project, which is basically a travelogue disguised as an war/adventure novel (or the other way around). In order to keep track of all the different geographical locations the Greek armies visit while tromping their way through the Persian Empire and back, I made a new label called "Locations", with three variables: Geographic Area, Type (river, city, region, etc.) and English name.
The labels are nice because they allow me to scroll through the book by geographic location. I suppose you could say all I'm doing is constructing an index of place names, with a little extra information tagged on for each entry. In any case, I thought I'd pass it on as a tip.
That said, does anyone else have other suggestions as to how to make this more useful? I must say I don't really know the differences between tags, labels and community tags, so I might be missing something.
