More than 9,000 Andalusian toponyms already standardized

 link

The 219 Andalusian municipalities have completed the process of standardizing their toponyms, and another 19 ones are in an advanced stage of this process. It means that the Inventario Toponímico de Asentamientos de la Comunidad de Andalucía (ITACA) has already standardized more than 9,000 toponyms.



The Inventario Toponímico de Asentamientos de la Comunidad de Andalucía (ITACA) is a project of the Institute of Statistics and Cartography of Andalusia to validate the territorial delimitation of settlements and standardize their denominations. This requires the participation of provincial councils and councils. As a linking tool, a web viewer has been enabled which, with the help of the latest orthophoto and form tables, solves the detected discrepancies between different toponymic sources. The validated names will be part of the Geographic Gazette of Andalusia, National Geographic Gazette and the Spatial Reference Data of Andalusia for use in official cartography.
