Abstract
Abstract The ability to designate locations as they pertain to information resources is important for documenting both provenance and subject matter. However, the naming of places is a complex matter. This article presents an overview of several common geographic vocabularies in use by libraries and cultural heritage institutions and evaluates them according to criteria corresponding to various user groups. To better understand how these geographic vocabularies are used in practice, it presents the results of survey that assesses the state of geographic vocabulary usage in the field. Finally, a discussion on the current state of geographic vocabularies and emerging challenges is presented as a source for future discussion.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
