HeidelPlace

With HeidelPlace, we developed an extensible geoparsing framework that includes a generic gazetteer model and an implementation of the entire geoparsing process.

Geographic information extraction from textual data sources, called geoparsing, is a key task in text processing and central to subsequent spatial analysis approaches. Several geoparsers are available to support this task, each with its own (often limited or specialized) gazetteer and its own approaches to toponym detection (finding place mentions) and resolution (linking place mentions to unique spatial references).
