It seems that dbpedia is a de facto source of URIs for geographical place names. I would expect to find a more specialized source. I think that I saw one mentioned here in the last few months. Are there alternatives that are possible more fine-grained or designed specifically for geo data? With multi-lingual labels? Perhaps somebody has kept track of the options on a website?
we have made an RDF version of GADM [1] available at [2], and are working on interlinking that dataset with other Linked Data sources (such as DBpedia and GeoNames). It's work in progress so we welcome feedback. There's also a list with some geospatial datasets [3]. Best regards, Andreas.
