Abstract | Nowadays, digital gazetteers are proliferating in number and applied broadly in the location-based services. They are distributed in departments of government and various vendors, and repetitive efforts have been made to establish them which cost a lot of time and money. Frequently, to retrieve all-around information about a place, users have to consult several gazetteers and combine the results. In addition, we often develop a new gazetteer by integrating two or more sources of gazetteer data. So the fundamental challenge with digital gazetteers is how to fuse data from multi-sources to achieve the single place/single entry relationship. In this paper, we focus on how to merge the descriptions of the common places from different sources of digital gazetteers. A fusion method is put forward to judge identity of geographical names and combine their descriptions, which is based on linguistics, ontology and spatial relations theory and starting from geographical names meanings with their name strings, place type and spatial relationships taken into account. Experiments show that the method has enhanced efficiency and accuracy of integration of geographical names data automatically, and improve the batch update of geographical names. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
