INSPIRE/GN model/Feasibility study NLS Finland

This document summarizes insights from the feasibility study on named places in Finland, presented at the UNGEGN Norden Division meeting in Uppsala on October 29, 2010. It covers various aspects of the INSPIRE application schema and the NLS Finland GNR model, including the availability of named places (over 800,000), their geographical names, and associated attributes such as language, spelling, and status. The study highlights harmonization challenges, local feature types, and viewing resolutions that impact how named places are represented in national topographic maps.
