A Mediator for Heterogeneous Gazetteers

Gazetteers are catalogs of geographic objects, typically classified using terms taken from a thesaurus. Mediated access to several gazetteers requires the use of a strategy to deal with the heterogeneity of different thesauri. This paper outlines the implementation of a mediator for heterogeneous gazetteers. The mediator incorporates an instance-based technique to align thesauri that uses the results of user queries as evidences.
