The two-and-a-half day workshop in Santa Barbara (December 2006) focused on the role of digital gazetteers in geo-referencing applications, starting with overviews of the state-of-the-art and current activities and leading to a consensus on the opportunities and directions for collaboration and the advancement of a research and practice agenda. The workshop was convened by the National Center for Geographic Information & Analysis (NCGIA) and the Redlands Institute, with sponsorship from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
