We define a Geo Name Service (GNS) that maps from a location query to a geographic region that contains the location and, in turn, to verified owners and occupants of that region, where these entities could be persons or organisations. The GNS then returns URLs of websites or data feeds (Web Services), email addresses, Instant Messaging addresses, phone numbers and other data associated with the entities. The GNS can associate locations with the Internet and Web in a reliable manner, and it enables value added computing and electronic commerce. The GNS can disambiguate references to individuals in web pages, using “person URLs” and “person files”. A person URL is a URL at the GNS that represents a given location and a person living or working at that location. A person file has one or more maps from a text string that represents a person's name in a page at some URL to a person URL that refers to a specific person at a specific location.
