A gazetteer is a systematically compiled reference work that catalogs geographical place names alongside structured descriptive information. Its parameters are: (1) a compiled list of named places drawn from survey, record, or field observation, (2) for each place, structured metadata including location coordinates or relative position and at least one descriptive attribute (topography, population, landmarks, or administrative status), (3) an organizational scheme enabling systematic retrieval — alphabetical by name, geographical by region, or hierarchical by political division. It persists as a published reference work maintained through periodic revision. [formal: geographicum | substrate: mind | horizon: centuries | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]
