Hi,As well as the others already mentioned there's also Yahoo Geoplanet: http://beta.kasabi.com/dataset/yahoo-geoplanet This has multi-lingual labels and is cross-linked to the Ordnance Survey data, Dbpedia, but that could be improved. As for a list, there are currently 34 geography related datasets listed in Kasabi here: http://beta.kasabi.com/browse/datasets/results/og_category%3A147
Leigh,Can anyone access these datasets or must they obtain a kasabi account en route to authenticated access?

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? -Scott -- M.
