ADL Gazetteer A Library – Faculty Collaboration STKO Lab
2
Project Goal: To build a linked-data place name thesaurus with geometries, tightly controlled place types, and temporal awareness
3
Definitions: Gazetteer: a placename dictionary in which each entry has a spatial reference that can be mapped Geometries: digital representations of points, lines, and polygons Place types: a hierarchical ontology in which to categorize locations. e.g.: populated places, cities, mountains, hydrologic features
4
Backgound Born to enable spatial search during Alexandria Digital Library era (1994 – 2006) Overtaken by map-based search c. 2004 The Yelp Paradigm Splippy maps The Great Recession: 2008 STKO Lab founded 2011
5
Reviving the Gazetteer 2012: post-doc attempts to lift with public documents 2013: missing datafile found in remnants of ADL. Jano lifts postGRESql Gazetteer 2014-15: Matched to Natural Earth Data boundaries Placenames refreshed from BGN’s GNIS (domestic) Working on NGA’s GEOnet (foreign) Triplified (converted to RDF linked-data) geoSPARQL endpoint Browse/Search interface

Next steps: Update feature type thesaurus Fix obvious mistakes Missing root node Oil platforms are water bodies Modernize the ontology Train library staff to maintain vocabulary achievable
13
Next steps Integrate into ADRL Fedora repository metadata schemas Adopt as spatial facet in Blacklight searches aspirational
