Locator / Geo-Aliases
Place capture and normalization of diacritics, transliteration and geographic aliases.
Problem
Initial situation
Place names vary by language, spelling and transliteration scheme, disrupting search and association.
Constraints
Boundary conditions
- Multilingual aliases
- Deterministic normalization
- Local use
- Verifiable matching
Solution
Solution
An explicit alias model links spelling variants to stable place identities and geographic coordinates.
Architecture
Architecture
- PWA
- Alias index
- Coordinate records
- Local data
Result
Result
More robust place matching for other geospatial and research tools.
