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. [1] http://geo.linkeddata.es Hope it helps! Regards, Elena El 08/09/2011 16:38, M. Scott Marshall escribió: > It seems that dbpedia is a de facto source of URIs for geographical > place names.
