Abstract
It is now possible to use various geographical open data sources such as GeoNames and Wikipedia to construct geographic information systems. In addition, these open data sources are integrated by the concept of Linked Open Data. There have been several attempts to identify links between existing data, but few studies have focused on the quality of such links. In this paper, we introduce an automatic link discovery method for identifying the correspondences between GeoNames entries and Wikipedia pages, based on Wikipedia category information. This method finds not only appropriate links but also inconsistencies between two databases. Based on this integration results, we discuss the type of inconsistencies for making consistent Linked Open Data.
