Database of geographic names of the Czech Republic (Geonames)
Geonames is the database of geographic names of the Czech Republic. It is a system for administration of named features.
A standard geographic name is maintained as a part of attribute information to approx. 165 types of named features. Geometric representation of some Geonames objects corresponds to the locations of features of ZABAGED®, to which the name applies. Another group of features, above all all field and forest lots and local parts of settlements have a simplified geometry corresponding to the location of its map lettering in the state map series.
The Features are represented by a vector (punctual) component with attributes containing wider information about names.

The Geonames data are exploited as an information source for Czech geographic names and their topology in Geogprahic Information Systems (GIS) especially in the public administration. Standardized names are binding for state map series publishers and recommended to use to other cartographic products publishers in the Czech Republic.

Kvalita
Creation of Geonames started in 1997 with populating of standardised names from the documentation of the Commision for Geographic Names at ČÚZK. The process was finalized for the whole territory of the Czech Republic in 2005. The 1st update was completed for the entire territory of the Czech Republic in 2009, in 2010-2014 the 2nd and in 2015-2017 the 3rd update. Starting in 2019, the 4th update of Geonames was started, ending in 2021. In 2022, the 5th update was started.
