To respond to UN resolutions and UN data needs,

this Working Group on

Geographical Names Data Management addresses various issues of

geographical names data processing, including the creation, maintenance and outputs of

geographical names data files (including gazetteer production) and aspects of

geographical names data exchange formats and standards.

Issues of providing geographical names information within national and international spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) through web (gazetteer) services and multipurpose

geographical names database solutions in the context of SDIs as well as the utilization of volunteered geographic information and crowd sourced data are becoming more and more important. Furthermore, the issue of appropriate definitions for gazetteers and data types and of general feature types/categories relates with the agenda of the WG

GNDM.
