Bonus #2: use of naming authorities and ontologies
Examples:
1. Use of GeoNames to disambiguate places with same name
Richmond, CA (5387428) ≠ Richmond, VA (4781708)
2. Use of VIAF to disambiguate personal names
Roger Williams, 1604?-1683 (VIAF ID 41882851) ≠
Roger Williams, 1924-2011 (VIAF ID 66678007)
