摘要
Based on the combination of Geographical information system(GIS)with the research ofToponymy,some foundational problems of the Geographical Name Information System(GINS)are discussed in this paper.The present situation of Toponymical research is anal-ysed and the necessity of introducing the GIS tools to the research of Toponymy is demon-strated.The conceptual model of the GNIS and the structure of Geographical name Database(GND)are discussed.The basic functions of the GNIS software for management and re-search of geographical name are suggested.Some issues are stated such as the applicationand potential of the combination of GIS with CAD in the management and research of To-ponymy,the combination of GNIS with other spatial information system and sharing the in-formation with each other,the research and development of GNIS, etc.

The present situation of Toponymical research is analysed and the necessity of introducing the GIS tools to the research of Toponymy is demonstrated. The conceptual model of the GNIS and the structure of Geographical name Database (GND) are discussed. The basic functions of the GNIS software for management and research of geographical name are suggested. Some issues are stated such as the application and potential of the combination of GIS with CAD in the management and research of Toponymy, the combination of GNIS with other spatial information system and sharing the information with each other, the research and development of GNIS, etc.
