A geo-coding service encompassing a geo-parsing tool and integrated digital gazetteer service

چکیده
We describe a basic Geo-coding service encompassing a geo-parsing tool and integrated digital gazetteer service. The development of a geo-parser comes from the need to explicitly georeference large resource collections such as the Statistical Accounts of Scotland which currently only contain implicit georeferences in the form of placennames thus making such collections inherently geographically searchable.

متن کاملThe DIGMAP Geo - Temporal Web Gazetteer Service
This paper presents the DIGMAP geo-temporal Web gazetteer service, a system providing access to names of places, historical periods, and associated geo-temporal information. Within the DIGMAP project, this gazetteer serves as the unified repository of geographic and temporal information, assisting in the recognition and disambiguation of geo-temporal expressions over text, as well as in resourc...
متن کاملExpanding a Gazetteer-Based Approach for Geo-Parsing Disease Alerts
Discovering in a text the geographic references it may contain, is a task that human readers perform using both their lexical and contextual knowledge. Using a gazetteer to label such targeted references in a dataset, this paper proposes an approach to learning the context in which they appear and by this means extending the prior knowledge encoded in the gazetteer. The present work was carried...
متن کاملA Web-based Geo-resolution Annotation and Evaluation Tool
In this paper we present the Edinburgh Geo-annotator, a web-based annotation tool for the manual geo-resolution of location mentions in text using a gazetteer. The annotation tool has an interlinked text and map interface which lets annotators pick correct candidates within the gazetteer more easily. The geo-annotator can be used to correct the output of a geoparser or to create gold standard g...
متن کاملSurface runoff estimation in an upper watershed using geo-spatial based soil conservation service-curve number method
Runoff assessment and estimation is crucial for watershed management as it provides information that is needed to expedite the course of watershed planning and development. The most commonly used model due to its simplicity and versatility in runoff estimation is the soil conservation service curve number developed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The study estimates the surface ...
