BGN: Domestic Names - Main The Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is the Federal and national standard for geographic nomenclature. The U.S. Geological Survey developed the GNIS in support of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names as the official repository of domestic geographic names data, the official vehicle for geographic names use by all departments of the Federal Government, and the source for applying geographic names to Federal electronic and printed products. The GNIS contains information about physical and cultural geographic features of all types in the United States, associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The database assigns a unique, permanent feature identifier, the Feature ID, as the only standard Federal key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling feature data from multiple data sets.

Gazetteer The Santa Fe Railway's 1891 Route Map, entitled Grain Dealers and Shippers Gazetteer The word was occasionally used in newspaper titles (for example, see The York Gazetteer), although it has long since fallen out of fashion.[original research?] Etymology[edit] The Oxford English Dictionary defines the "gazetteer" as a "geographical index or dictionary".[2] It includes as an example a work by the British historian Laurence Echard (d. 1730) in 1693 that bore the title "The Gazetteer's: or Newsman's Interpreter: Being a Geographical Index".[2] Echard wrote that the title "Gazetteer's" was suggested to him by a "very eminent person" whose name he chose not to disclose.[2] For Part II of this work published in 1704, Echard referred to the book simply as "the Gazeteer". This marked the introduction of the word "gazetteer" into the English language.[2] Historian Robert C. Types and organization[edit] Gazetteers are often categorized by the type, and scope, of the information presented.
The Google Geocoding API - Google Maps API Web Services The Google Maps Geocoding API is a service that provides geocoding and reverse geocoding of addresses. Geocoding is the process of converting addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude), which you can use to place markers on a map, or position the map. Reverse geocoding is the process of converting geographic coordinates into a human-readable address. You can also use the Google Maps Geocoding API to find the address for a given place ID. Sample request and response You access the Google Maps Geocoding API through an HTTP interface. Geocoding request and response (latitude/longitude lookup) The following example requests the latitude and longitude of "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA", and specifies that the output must be in JSON format. You can test this by entering the URL into your web browser (be sure to replace ‘YOUR_API_KEY’ with your actual API key). ... ], "status" : "OK"}

Mapping for Results | QCRI develops automated Geotagger for the World Bank | The World Bank Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) has developed a system for the World Bank that automates the geocoding of all Bank-financed projects. The system, built by QCRI’s Data Analytics team, enables more efficient and effective labeling of the Bank’s project portfolios and places them on a map for analysis, monitoring and evaluation. The QCRI GeoTagger platform augments the World Bank’s Mapping for Results initiative, a partnership with AidData, a partnership with AidData, which manually geocoded all active World Bank-financed projects in 144 countries. Mapping for Results is part of the Bank’s Open Data initiative, which allows for more transparency of its activities and access to information that promises to produce new analysis, tools and solutions to development challenges. Patrick Meier, Director of Social Innovation at QCRI, said of the Institute’s involvement, “We have a strong social mission at QCRI and this project reflects our commitment to that mission.
