To easily locate name in space to each geographical name is assigned ad-
ministrative unit. Administrative unit can be: Republic of Croatia, county
or town/municipality. The first two classes are given explicitly (Republic
of Croatia and county), and other administrative units are
towns/municipalities. Administrative unit of Republic of Croatia is as-
signed to dominant national objects lying in two or more counties (for ex-
ample Adriatic sea, river Sava, mountain Velebit, etc.), and county is as-
signed to objects spreading through two or more towns/municipalities. But,
if some small object spreads trough two or more towns/municipalities (e.g.
small river in the border area of two municipalities) this rule was not fol-
lowed. In these cases to administrative unit is assigned municipality in
wich geographical object is more dominant.
Mapping between Croatian and EuroGeoNames feature systems is made
and for the queried name is given feature classification after EuroGeo-
Names system in ten languages: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish,
Dutch, Hungarian, Slovenian, Slovakian and Czech.
