publication:
1) GIPSY [WOO 94],for Georeferenced Information Processing System,proposes
a method of indexing textual documents. This method is based on the aggregation of
geometries corresponding to spatial entities. This aggregation is used to identify the
representative geographic zones of the document in view of its indexing.
2) GEOSEM [BIL 03], for Geographic Semantic, aims at the semantic processing
of geographic information contained in documents such as texts, maps, tables or
graphs.
3) SPIRIT [VAI 05], for Spatially Aware Information Retrieval on the Internet,
allows the retrievalof Webpages describing places or geographic zones specified in a
query.
4) GRID [VAL 06], for Geospatial Retrieval of Indexed Documents, supports IR

5) DIGMAP [MAR 07],for Discovering our Past World with Digitized Maps,aims
at the promotion of documents relative to cultural and scientific heritage, such as
digital libraries of old maps.
6) GEOTRACKER [CHE 07], for Geospatial and Temporal RSS Tracking,
supports intelligent aggregation and dissemination of RSS feeds.
7) STEWARD [LIE 07],for Spatio-Textual Extraction on the Web Aiding Retrieval
of Documents, uses spatial information for the retrieval and visualization of
information contained within unstructured textual documents.
8) PIIR [LOU 08b], for Prototype pour l'Interprétation d'Itinéraire dans des
Récits de voyages,isasystemofautomaticinterpretationofitinerariesintravelogues.
9) PIV [GAI 08], for Pyrénées Itinéraires Virtuels, aims at the promotion of
heritage document repositories: newspapers, novels, 19th Century travelogues,
processed on the basis of spatial, temporal and thematic criteria.
10) WatWasWaar [LIB 08],for What has taken place here? or What was true? This
title with a double meaning illustrates the fact that history can be colorful. Focusing
on geographic and historic information (maps and other heritage documents relative
to Dutch territory), WatWasWaar processes spatial, temporal and thematic criteria.
11) CITER [PFO 09], for Creation of a European History Textbook Repository,
supports IR in the textual content of history topics.
12) GEOOREKA [BUS 09b], for Geographically Enhanced Web Search Engine,
targets newspaper extracts relating to a particular geographic zone.
