Survey: Open European gazetteer and associated location data

They form the backbone of European location services, which may include 'gazetteer' services: geographical directories that link place names and addresses to point and area locations. Related datasets become particularly beneficial when used in conjunction with other data, including land parcels, hydrography and transport networks. However, current data is
