N2 - There is an increasing presence of geospatial datasets in the Linked Open Data cloud. However, these datasets are published like data silos and the value of the Web of Data depends, among other properties, on the amount and quality of links between data sources. One of the most overlooked problems to date in the linking process is to ensure that two different resources (identified with URIs) are actually referring to the same physical thing, that is, the co-reference problem. In this paper we present a coreference resolution approach that is composed of a set of heuristics for interlinking geospatial Linked Data. We have used these heuristics to connect resources from GeoLinkedData.es and DBpedia.
