The INSPIRE - Geographic Names data are harmonised according to INSPIRE Implementing Rules and correspond with INSPIRE xml schema in version 4.0. This dataset of geographic names of the Czech Republic therefore has the unified design with other data created for this INSPIRE theme in frame of whole Europe. The features are represented by a vector (punctual) component with attributes containing wider information about names. The base of the dataset is the database of geographic names of the Czech Republic Geonames completed with names of features located in the Fundamental Base of Geographic Data of the Czech Republic (ZABAGED®) that are not part of Geonames (street and squares names, traffic nodes and protected areas). The attributes are based on the source databases contents eventually constant on the base of characteristic of source databases (e.g. all names are Czech endonyms, names originating in Geonames standard, street names are official etc.)

Geonames is the database of geographical names of the Czech Republic. It serves as a system for managing named objects. A standardised geographical name is maintained as part of the descriptive information for approximately 165 types of named geographical objects. The geometric representation of some Geonames objects corresponds to the position of the geographical object in ZABAGED® to which the name relates. Another group of objects — primarily land lots, forest land, and local parts of settlements — has simplified geometry corresponding to the placement of names in the national map series. Objects are represented by a vector (point) component with attributes containing additional information about the names.
