A problem with gazetteers is that they usually cover only parts of the world. Gazetteers usually cover nations or regions very well, but there are few gazetteers that cover the whole world, and those which do cover large parts of the world have a less intensive coverage than those which only covers a defined, less extensive are. An approach to overcoming such limitations is the exchange of information between gazetteers. The ADL community has therefore proposed the ADL Gazetteer Content Standard and the ADL Gazetteer Service Protocol for supporting the exchange of gazetteer data [3].
