Abstract

Scientists and researchers often search for lunar features from lunar names within geographic data from Moon. Currently, there are few facilities available for above search. Therefore, we propose starting construction of lunar nomenclature search system based on high-level query language interfaces, such as query by example (QBE) and Query-By-Object approach. Using this method, we can designate specific points of the moon using nearby name by lunar feature names. Currently, we are focusing on the region including Copernicus crater.
