Question: Authoritative URIs for Geo locations? Multi-lingual labels?

2011-09-08 Thread M. Scott Marshall
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

Hi Jarred, It seems to me that your work is similar or at least related to rNews [1]. I'm curious to know if you're looked at rNews when building the News Ontology. Do they complement each other, or are we re-inventing the wheel? Steph. [1] http://dev.iptc.org/rNews On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 9:48

There is an XML file here [1] from which you will be able to extract a list of Canadian administrative entities down to the County level. Quebec Natural Counties are simply treated as a mirror image of Quebec Counties. The geo coverage overlaps, the language changes. This is the abstraction
