Hi Scott,
In the context of GeoLinkedData initiative, the Ontology Engineering
Group (OEG) at UPM is publishing geospatial information of Spain [1].
This data set has labels in Spanish, English, and in Basque, Galician
and Catalan, when appropriate. These are official languages in some
regions in Spain. So, when geographical phenomena have names in the two
languages that are official in a certain region (Spanish and one of the
other languages), we have also included those labels.

Hope it helps!
Regards,
Elena

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?
