MBLWHOI Library News

The MBLWHOI Library, in conjunction with the US Geological Survey Woods Hole Field Center for Coastal and Marine Geology, is hosting a workshop on Federated Approaches to Marine and Coastal Geographic Names, March 22 - 23, 2004. This workshop invites members of academia, government, and non-profit entities to explore and discuss approaches to developing a digital gazetteer for marine geographic names and features. Ultimately, the Library would like to create a federated index for resolving geographic names to account for the many ways that marine and submarine features are represented in U.S. and international geographic name servers.
