“…Nastala je s pregledom več kot 50.000 različnih oblik eksonimov, zajetih iz 14 slovenskih atlasov sveta (Kladnik s sodelavci 2013) ter pomembnejših leksikonov in Slovenskega pravopisa iz leta 2001. Namenjena je standardizaciji slovenskih eksonimov (Kladnik in Geršič 2014;Perko in Kladnik 2017;2019). Zanjo skrbi Geografski inštitut Antona Melika ZRC SAZU.…”

IZVLEČEK Standardizacija hidronimov v Sloveniji in geografski informacijski sistemiGeografski informacijski sistemi so uporabno orodje tudi pri standardizaciji zemljepisnih imen, to je poenotenju njihove rabe. Pri tem postopku imajo pomembno vlogo digitalni podatki v obliki imenikov in zbirk zemljepisnih imen, pa tudi digitalni zemljevidi. Na svetovni ravni za zemljepisna imena skrbi Organizacija združenih narodov, pri nas pa Komisija za standardizacijo zemljepisnih imen Vlade Republike Slovenije, ki je med različnimi vrstami zemljepisnih imen do zdaj v celoti standardizirala samo imena držav. Naslednja so na vrsti vodna imena ali hidronimi iz Registra zemljepisnih imen, ki je največja podatkovna baza zemljepisnih imen v Sloveniji in jo vodi Geodetska uprava Republike Slovenije. Prispevek prikazujejo vpetost geografskih informacijskih sistemov v postopku standardizacije zemljepisnih imen, še posebej hidronimov. KLJUČNE BESEDE zemljepisno ime, toponim, hidronim, standardizacija, regionalna geografija, imenoslovje, slovenski jezik, Komisija za standardizacijo zemljepisnih imen ABSTRACT Standardization of hydronyms in Slovenia and geographic information systems Geographic information systems are also a useful tool in the standardization of geographical names, i.e., their unified use. Digital data in the form of gazetteers and registers of geographical names, as well as digital maps, play an important role in this process. At the global level, geographical names are managed by the United Nations and in Slovenia by the Commission for the Standardization of Geographical Names of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, which has so far fully standardized only country names among various types of geographical names. The next in line are water names or hydronyms from the Register of Geographical Names, which is the largest database of geographical names in Slovenia, managed by the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. The chapter shows the involvement of geographic information systems in the process of standardization of geographical names, especially hydronyms.

“…The next most commonly used Slovenian exonyms are Dolina smrti »Death Valley«, Veliki kanjon »Grand Canyon«, Niagarski slapovi »Niagara Falls«, Skalno gorovje »Rocky Mountains«, and Aleuti »Aleutian Islands« (Perko and Kladnik 2017).…”

“…The article »Slovenian exonyms in North America« (Perko and Kladnik 2017) notes that the number of Slovenian exonyms around the world decreases with distance from Slovenia. However, this applies less so to North America, where their density is twice as high as in South and Central America, which is associated with the above-average global role of North America in the last century and the emigration of Slovenians in past centuries.…”

Geographical names are proper names of geographical features. They are characterized by different meanings, contexts, and history. Local names of geographical features (endonyms) may differ from the foreign names (exonyms) for the same feature. If a specific geographical name has been codified or in any other way established by an authority of the area where this name is located, this name is a standardized geographical name. In order to establish solid common ground, geographical names have been coordinated at a global level by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) since 1959. It is assisted by twenty-four regional linguistic/geographical divisions. Among these is the East Central and South-East Europe Division, with seventeen member states. Currently, the division is chaired by Slovenia. Some of the participants in the last session prepared four research articles for this special thematic issue of Acta geographica Slovenica. All of them are also briefly presented in the end of this article.

“…Croatian and Slovenian researchers have discussed exonyms, mostly addressing modern usage (e.g., Kladnik 2007c; Kladnik and Bole 2012;Perko and Kladnik 2017;Crljenko 2018;2020;Kladnik, Geršič and Perko 2020), general issues (e.g., Kladnik 2006;Kladnik 2007d;Perko, Jordan and Komac 2017;Kladnik, Geršič and Perko 2020), relationships between endonyms and exonyms (e.g., Kladnik 2009), and sometimes also their use in literature (e.g., Geršič 2019).…”

This paper compares the beginnings of exonym standardization and some characteristics of the oldest exonyms in two similar Slavic languages, Croatian and Slovenian. It uses the comparative and exemplar methods. It is found that these processes were influenced by the sociopolitical environment of the time, especially language policies. It is shown that the nineteenth century was favorably inclined toward exonyms. They were often written inconsistently and unsystematically because there were no spelling norms for their writing and use. For some, the influences of foreign languages (German, Italian, etc.) are obvious. Numerous transitional forms also appeared, which did not become established.
