Extraction and exploration of spatio-temporal information in documents
Jannik Strötgen, Michael Gertz, Pavel V. Popov · 2010
In the past couple of years, there have been significant advances in the areas of temporal information retrieval (TIR) and geographic information retrieval (GIR), each focusing on extracting and utilizing temporal and geographic information, respectively, from documents for search and exploration tasks. Interestingly, there is only little work that combines models, techniques and applications from these two areas to support scenarios and applications where temporal and geographic information in combination provide interesting meaningful nuggets in document exploration tasks, such as visualizing a chronological sequence of events with their locations.
