Content negotiation

Content negotiation refers to mechanisms defined as a part of HTTP that make it possible to serve different versions of a document (or more generally, representations of a resource) at the same URI, so that user agents can specify which version fits their capabilities the best.

Elevation

The elevation of a geographic location is its height above or below a fixed reference point, most commonly a reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface (see Geodetic datum § Vertical datum).

Geodetic datum

A geodetic datum or geodetic system is a coordinate system, and a set of reference points, used to locate places on the Earth (or similar objects).

Geographic coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system used in geography that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols.

Latitude

In geography, latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north–south position of a point on the Earth's surface.

New!!: GeoNames and Latitude · See more »

Linked data

In computing, linked data (often capitalized as Linked Data) is a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries.

Longitude

Longitude, is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east-west position of a point on the Earth's surface.

Ontology (information science)

In computer science and information science, an ontology encompasses a representation, formal naming, and definition of the categories, properties, and relations of the concepts, data, and entities that substantiate one, many, or all domains.

Spatial database

A spatial database is a database that is optimized for storing and querying data that represents objects defined in a geometric space.

Toponymy

Toponymy is the study of place names (toponyms), their origins, meanings, use, and typology.

Uniform Resource Identifier

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) is a string of characters designed for unambiguous identification of resources and extensibility via the URI scheme.

Web Ontology Language

The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring ontologies.
