Gazetteer
Our gazetteers include the global coordinates of each item in latitude and longitude degrees.
The term gazetteer originally was applied to one who wrote a gazette. It was first used in its modern sense early in the 18th cent., after the publication (1703) by Lawrence Echard of the Gazetteer's or Newsman's Interpreter, a geographical index.
Now you can provide your users with standardized lists of choices for entering data. For example, without a comprehensive list of cities, user-input location data quickly becomes a nightmare. Assuming your users make no spelling errors you can expect the user-provided location data to vary greatly. Just consider:
New York, New York USA
New York, NY USA
N.Y., N.Y. US
And the list goes on!
These are all "valid" entries which represent the same physical location, but from the database standpoint these are all separate and distinct locations. Using our World-wide Cities database this problem is eliminated! Users can be presented with a standard and complete version of any place name, thus producing a more reliable and meaningful dataset.
Geography
Geographic study is particularly concerned with location, with areal patterns, with the interrelationships of phenomena (especially of the relationship between human society and the land, as in ecology), with rationalization, and with ties among areas. Typical areas of inquiry include where people live; in what sort of patterns they are distributed over the Earth's surface; what factors of environment, resources, culture, and economic development account for this distribution; whether or not significant regions can be recognized by types of population, livelihood, and culture; and what types of movements and relations occur among places,
