INSPIRE Data Specifications for Geographical names | Agrisemantics Map of Data Standards

PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING A QUICK SURVEY ON THE USE OF THIS MAP: click here

A geographical name is a proper noun applied to a natural, man-made or cultural feature on Earth. A feature can have different names in one or several languages and the names may be provided, together with appropriate information on the feature, in different products like maps and gazetteers as well as respective services.

A geographical name serves as a means to identify a location. Gazetteers and gazetteer services associate the names with corresponding features – or locations – by means of co-ordinates, feature types and/or other necessary information. A multi-lingual gazetteer (service) shall most probably be established as a part of INSPIRE.
