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?
Been a while. ;-)
From the Kasabi FAQ:
Why do you require API Keys?
An important part of Kasabi is letting data providers explore the
potential (commercial and utility) of their data. API Keys let us
track the actual usage of each dataset and API, giving us the ability
to provide stats to the data providers and curators. With these stats,
they are in a better position to understand how their data is being
used, and to what extent it's being picked up.
also relevant:
Can I download a dataset?
No. Kasabi is a hosted service, and downloading data isn't a feature
we're planning to support. The reasoning behind this is partly for
data providers to be able to see how their data is being used, and
partly because we see Kasabi's role in curation as being a valuable
aspect of the marketplace. We can't keep download versions up to date,
for example. Data providers may make datasets available for download
on their own terms, but not via Kasabi.
Hope you are looking forward to a great weekend!

Cheers,

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?

# Question
On RDFa vocabulary, I would really like a solution with geo:lat
and geo:long, Ideas?
Am I overlooking something obvious here? There is lat, long
properties
in wgs84 vocab. So,
<span about="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Montreal";>
<span property="geo:lat"
content="45.5"
datatype="xsd:float"></span>
<span property="geo:lat"
content="-73.666667"
datatype="xsd:float"></span>
Montreal
</span>
Tabbed for readability. You might need to get rid of whitespace.

Better yet:
<li about="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Montreal";>
<span property="geo:lat"
...
