- Abstract
At the last meeting of the Commission of Toponymy of the Balearic Islands, the need for the Autonomous Community to have a geo-referenced gazetteer that complies with the INSPIRE specifications of geographical names and that contains the official place names of the Community was evident. Currently, there are two projects that aim to create standardized geographic gazetteers: the Gazetteer of Menorca, with ten years of history, driven by the Menorcan Institute of Studies (IME) and the Consell Insular de Menorca (CIME); and the project of the Gazetteer of the Balearic Islands, which is in the planning phase, whose mission is to become the reference tool for geographic names of the Balearic Islands and will collect the official forms of the place names that it includes. In addition, there is also a need to harmonize the Basic Gazetteer of Spain (NGBE) with the gazetteers of our Autonomous Community. The objective of this article is to present the status of the works of the Gazetteer of Menorca, to explain how the elaboration of the Gazetteer of the Balearic Islands is proposed and to show how the process of harmonization with the NGBE and the INSPIRE requirements is faced.
