Determining geographic representations for arbitrary concepts at query time

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Henrich, Andreas Lüdecke, Volker
Abstract In typical concept@location-queries, the location is sometimes given by terms that cannot be found in gazetteers or geographic databases. Such terms usually describe vague geographical regions, but might also include more general terms like mining or theme parks, in which case the corresponding geographic footprint is less obvious. In the present paper we describe our approach to deal with such vague location specifications in geographic queries. Roughly, we determine a geographic representation for these location specifications from toponyms found in the top documents resulting from a query using the terms describing the location. In this paper we describe an efficient process to derive the geographic representation for such situations at query time. Furthermore, we present experiments depicting the performance of our approach as well as the result quality. Our approach allows for an efficient execution of queries such as camping ground near theme park. It can also be used as a standalone-application giving a visual impression of the geographic footprint of arbitrary terms.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
