Abstract
The gazetteer is perceived differently in different contexts: Geographical Information Systems, Digital Libraries, Toponymic Standardization Processes and Cartotoponomy. These contexts shape the content of the SDI gazetteer. This paper analyzes the conventional core properties and the nature of the gazetteer to ease the building of SDI gazetteers.
