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 Cheers, L. On 8 September 2011 15:38, M.
