Abstract: Aiming at the ambiguity in Chinese place names such as "same name for different locations" and "different names for same location", we propose a method for place names matching with combining toponymy knowledge and location information. Firstly, the semantic structure of place name is analyzed based on rule matching pattern of feature words. Afterwards, combining the location information, place names matching is achieving. Meanwhile, place name data is correlated by the entity information and administrative division to construct toponymy knowledge base. Taking POI data as instance, we implement place names matching with name similarity and location similarity, and the results are stored and represented in the form of knowledge graph.

Key words: toponymy knowledge, place names matching, similarity calculation, data disambiguation
