Abstract

Geographical and temporal criteria both have important roles in filtering, grouping and prioritizing information resources. This paper presents techniques for extracting semantic geo-temporal information from textual content, using relatively simple natural language processing methods that leverage on a Web gazetteer service. A prototype system, implementing the proposed methods and capable of displaying the extracted information over maps and timelines, is described in detail. This prototype supports the RSS format as input to the extraction process, demonstrating the possible application of these techniques to content from nearly all online news sites and blogs. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed approaches.
