Using GeoWordNet for Geographical Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method that uses GeoWordNet for Geographical Information Retrieval. During the indexing phase, all places are disambiguated and assigned their coordinates on the world map. Documents are first searched for by means of a term-based search method, and then re-ranked according to the geographical information. The results show that map-based re-ranking allows to improve the results obtained by the base system, which relies only on textual information.

GeoWordNet: A Resource for Geo-spatial Applications
Geo-spatial ontologies provide knowledge about places in the world and spatial relations between them. They are fundamental in order to build semantic information retrieval systems and to achieve semantic interoperability in geo-spatial applications. In this paper we present GeoWordNet, a semantic resource we created from the full integration of GeoNames, other high quality resources and WordNe...
متن کاملThe UPV at GeoCLEF 2008: The GeoWorSE System
This year our system was complemented with a map-based filter. During the indexing phase, all places are disambiguated and assigned their coordinates on the map. These coordinates are stored in a separate index. The search process is carried out in two phases: in the first one, we search the collection with the same method applied in 2007, which exploits the expansion of index terms by means of...
متن کاملGeoVSM: An Integrated Retrieval Model for Geographic Information
Geographical information exists in multiple forms such as cartographical maps, images, and texts. Effective retrieval systems for geographical information are currently studied by both geospatial information scientists and library/information scientists. The two groups take quite different approaches which have rarely been explicitly compared and connected. This paper discusses the advantages a...
متن کاملTALP at GeoCLEF 2007: Using Terrier with Geographical Knowledge Filtering
This paper describes our experiments in Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) in the context of our participation in the GeoCLEF 2007 Monolingual English task. Our system, called TALPGeoIR, follows a similar architecture of our previous system presented at GeoCLEF 2006 [2] with some changes in the Retrieval modes and the Geographical Knowledge Base. The system has four phases performed seque...

This paper describes our experiments in Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) in the context of our participation in the GeoCLEF 2006 Monolingual English task. The TALPGeoIR system follows a similar architecture of the GeoTALP-IR system presented at GeoCLEF 2005 [2] with some changes in the Retrieval modes and the Geographical Knowledge Base. The system has four phases performed sequentially...
