Developpement of a semantic web approach.

1. Georeferencing

• Tools to add geo-coordinates based on the locality name with additional display on maps with separated code from original coordinates
• Possibility to store polygons and line for georeferenced units
• Module to georeferenced in manual way data with no coordinates by associating them to GeoNames and/or OpenStreetMap units (quality check)
• SKOS endpoint (if BELSPO project accepted)
