Abstract
The project analyzes hydronyms in the Register of Geographical Names, which is the largest database of geographical names in Slovenia and is managed by the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. The project treats them as part of the Slovenian cultural heritage and determines their geographical and linguistic adequacy. On the basis of international and Slovenian standardization rules and in cooperation with Slovenian municipalities as stakeholders co-responsible for geographical names in their territory, it prepares a standardization document with hydronyms, as required by the Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia.
