				<title>Matching Spatial  Data</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello,

I'm a PhD student, I developed a new method to match and integrate spatial data.

Spatial data of points type such as Point of Interest (hotels, restaurant, etc.)

I want to evaluate my method, and to do so I need two spatial datasets with a ground truth.
The ground truth is a file, made by an expert, that contains a link between the matching entities of two datasets.

In this way, I can compare the result of my method to the ground truth to evaluate how successfully my method is able to match two datasets.

I wounder if there is such kind of datasets in geonames, or maybe a link between geonames and another LBS providers such as Open Street Map.

Any help is appreciated.]]></description>
