This grant is for a CESU-affiliated partner to conduct research on “Geographic Names Spanish Translation for The National Map,” offered by the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) National Geospatial Program. The primary purpose is to enable collaborative research focused on translating Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature names from English to Spanish. Projects should utilize The National Map geospatial data sources, including GNIS, National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), National Boundaries Dataset (NBD), and National Structures Dataset (NSD). The research aims to demonstrate effective dual-language translation processes and efficient dual-language map labeling techniques compatible with the Dynamic Mapping Product-on-Demand (PoD) environment, as well as evaluate various cartographic label treatment options.
