A geographical name or toponym is a proper name that by definition firmly and unquestionably identifies and individualizes a specific geographical phenomenon or topographical object. All geographical names in the world and in every language are divided into endonyms and exonyms.An "endonym" is the name of a geographical feature in one of the languages occurring in the area where the feature is situated. An "exonym" is a name used in a specific language for a geographical feature situated outside the area where that language has official status and differs in form from the name used in the official language or languages of the area where the geographical feature is situated.The use of geographical names can be politically sensitive, and for this reason this issue has long been the subject of international discussion. To strengthen the role of international professional associations in this field, in 1959 the United Nations established the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN), which directs international activities in the field of geographical names.

Per quanto riguarda la documentazione dei lessemi derivati da nomi propri, anche la pur avanzata lessicografia dell'italiano mostra ancora notevoli lacune. Il Deonomasticon Italicum offre in questo campo una sistematica e commentata ricerca storica. Tramite un intenso ed accurato spoglio di testi storici e contemporanei, che considera anche fonti finora trascurate è possibile riportare datazioni molto recenti e segnalare un gran numero di nuove attestazioni e di varianti formali. La prima parte del dizionario comprende i derivati da nomi geografici (4 volumi), con l'inserimento dell'ambito particolarmente interessante degli etnici, la seconda parte è riservata ai derivati da nomi di persona (2 volumi). L'opera è redatta in lingua italiana. Le sigle bibliografiche sono disponibili in internet (l'indirizzo è http://romanistik.phil.uni-sb.de/schweickard/). Sono disponibili, fino a questo momento, i 6 fascicoli che costituiscono il volume I (1997-2002) e la relativa copertina ed inoltre un "Supplemento bibliografico". A partire da ora il Deonomasticon Italicum non verrá più pubblicato in fascicoli, ma direttamente in volumi rilegati.

"Well before the innovation of maps, gazetteers served as the main geographic referencing system for hundreds of years. Consisting of a specialized index of place names, gazetteers traditionally linked descriptive elements with topographic features and coordinates. Placing Names is inspired by that tradition of discursive place-making and by contemporary approaches to digital data management that have revived the gazetteer and guided its development in recent decades. Adopted by researchers in the Digital Humanities and Spatial Sciences, gazetteers provide a way to model the kind of complex cultural, vernacular, and perspectival ideas of place that can be located in texts and expanded into an interconnected framework of naming history. This volume brings together leading and emergent scholars to examine the history of the gazetteer, its important role in geographic information science, and its use to further the reach and impact of spatial reasoning into the digital age"--
