Spatial Content Retrieval with Geoparsing Web Documents
Takeshi Sagara, Masatoshi Arikawa · 2004
The shortage of fresh spatial contents becomes one of the biggest problem for location based services, such as human/car navigation and restaurant recommendation. The Web is thought as a promising source of spatial contents so that some research projects had been reported which try to collect and geoparse web pages to exploit, however, it is still difficult to retrieve web pages with high quality and quantity in short period. In this paper, we discuss a way to retrieve spatial contents from the Web efficiently, and an algorithm to verify them, using yellow page as a dictionary.
