Abstract

In our work, we are interested in facilitating the exploration by scholars of the geography of texts: in particular, historical narrative texts describing routes. Semantic annotation constitutes the first step to enrich such text with the necessary information for producing analytical maps. The present article focuses on the disambiguation of spatial named entities (SNE) by the attribution of an identifier of the ever-growing Web of Data. This giant knowledge base (KB) provides qualitative spatial information about geographic entities, in particular spatial relations such as (:Paris :southOf :Lille), (:Paris :country :France). We thus propose a graph-matching algorithm relying on the A* algorithm and graph-edit distances for choosing the best referent in the KB for the SNE. We performed preliminary experiments and noted the clear gain in performance. We propose some examples of maps that are built semi-automatically. Finally, we draw conclusions and describe our plans of future work.

将空间命名实体链接到用于历史文本地理分析的数据网络
在我们的工作中,我们感兴趣的是促进文本地理学学者的探索:特别是描述路线的历史叙事文本。语义注释是用生成分析图所需的必要信息丰富这些文本的第一步。本文的重点是通过不断增长的数据网络标识符的归属来消除空间命名实体(SNE)的歧义。这个庞大的知识库提供关于地理实体的定性空间信息,特别是空间关系,如(:巴黎:里尔南部)、(:巴黎:国家:法国)。因此,我们提出了一种依赖于a *算法和图编辑距离的图匹配算法,用于在KB中为SNE选择最佳参考。我们进行了初步实验,并注意到性能的明显提高。我们提出了一些半自动构建地图的例子。最后,我们得出结论,并描述了我们未来的工作计划。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
