title: Stednavne draft: false type: register
Stednavne is Denmark’s authoritative gazetteer of official place names. It is a core component of Grunddatamodellen.
This page inherits shared contracts from Grunddatamodellen and only documents gazetteer-specific interpretation:

Minimum Interpretation Rules
- Stednavne is the gazetteer layer for official names, not a generic topographic feature database.
- Names are human-facing identifiers attached to places and features that may also exist in other registers.
Access Strategy
- Start from Geographical Names for search and place-name questions.
- Use this collection directly when name type, official naming status, or gazetteer semantics are the main concern.
