The Research Institute of the University of Bucharest is financially supporting the project of research Mapping Bucharest from a Geo-ontological Point of View, which is aimed at developing the first specific vocabulary for mapping Bucharest from a geo-ontological point of view. The specific goal of this project is to provide a geographical inventory of classes, boundaries, entities and relation, which would describe the city of Bucharest and its historical evolution over time (accordingly, some specific questions that may arise are: may do we need a specific definition of geographical entity? How can we map the boundaries of Bucharest? How can we describe their historical evolution over time? Is the division of Bucharest in six administrative units entirely clear-cut? What is the relationship between such administrative units and the informal cartiere such as Lipscani, Pantelimon, Titan and so forth?). Moreover, part of this project will be especially focused on the possible applications of this vocabulary to other fields of research, which might comprehend, among others, public administration, historical studies, cultural heritage, and to the proposal of specific projects in digital humanities, devoted to the study of Bucharest from a geographical perspective.

Abstract
The Research Institute of the University of Bucharest is financially supporting the project of research Mapping Bucharest from a Geo-ontological Point of View, which is aimed at developing the first specific vocabulary for mapping Bucharest from a geo-ontological point of view. The specific goal of this project is to provide a geographical inventory of classes, boundaries, entities and relation, which would describe the city of Bucharest and its historical evolution over time (accordingly, some specific questions that may arise are: may do we need a specific definition of geographical entity? How can we map the boundaries of Bucharest? How can we describe their historical evolution over time? Is the division of Bucharest in six administrative units entirely clear-cut? What is the relationship between such administrative units and the informal cartiere such as Lipscani, Pantelimon, Titan and so forth?). Moreover, part of this project will be especially focused on the possible applications of this vocabulary to other fields of research, which might comprehend, among others, public administration, historical studies, cultural heritage, and to the proposal of specific projects in digital humanities, devoted to the study of Bucharest from a geographical perspective.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
