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.
地理词汇的评价及其使用
指定与信息资源相关的位置的能力对于记录来源和主题都很重要。然而,地名是一件复杂的事情。本文概述了图书馆和文化遗产机构使用的几种常见地理词汇,并根据不同用户群体对应的标准对其进行了评估。为了更好地理解这些地理词汇在实践中的使用情况,本文提出了一项评估地理词汇在该领域使用状况的调查结果。最后,对地理词汇的现状和新出现的挑战进行了讨论,作为未来讨论的来源。

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.
