gazetserv 1.0

Location Gazetteer Server

Gazetserv is a gazetteer server daemon that can match location names fuzzily and return possible matches for locations from text, as well as coordinate information and search for surrounding municipalities. It has tools that can convert from a few freely downloadable databases into its own format, notably, the GEOnet database files can be used to fill in this gazetteer (this takes care of the whole world except the United States). For the USA, you can use the Census 2000 data also freely available from the web.
