Dear Corpora members,

The XLDB group of Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa and 
Linguateca -- Distributed Language Resource Center for Portuguese, 
announce Geo-Net-PT01, the first public geographic ontology of Portugal.

Geo-Net-PT01 contains 418.065 geographic administrative data of Portugal 
with information about municipalities, streets and postal codes, among 
other. In addition to the geographic information, Geo-Net-PT01 includes 
the geographic scope assigned to 686 Web sites. The geographic scope of 
a site corresponds to the region covered by the information published in 
site. For example, the site of the City Council of Lisbon, 
http://www.cm-lisboa.pt, has the geographic scope of the municipality of 
Lisbon.

Geo-Net-PT01 is freely available to the the scientific community in Web 
Ontology Language (OWL) format. The site http://xldb.fc.ul.pt/geonetpt 
has detailed information on how to obtain Geo-Net-PT01. Geo-Net-PT01 is 
described on a technical report available from 
http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/tech-reports/05-12.pdf.
