Services_GeoNames is a PHP5 interface to the various webservices
|
|
offered by the GeoNames project.
|
|
|
|
The GeoNames database contains over 8,000,000 geographical names
|
|
corresponding to over 6,500,000 unique features. All features are
|
|
categorized into one out of nine feature classes and further
|
|
subcategorized into one out of 645 feature codes. Beyond names of
|
|
places in various languages, data stored include latitude, longitude,
|
|
elevation, population, administrative subdivision and postal codes.
|
|
All coordinates use the WGS84 system (World Geodetic System 1984).
|
|
|
|
Those data are accessible free of charge through a number of Web
|
|
services and a daily database export. The Web services include
|
|
direct and reverse geocoding,finding places through postal codes,
|
|
finding places next to a given place, and finding Wikipedia articles
|
|
about neighbouring places.
