AI Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses two JISC-funded projects focused on enhancing the metadata of digitized historical collections through automatic georeferencing and information extraction.
- Understanding location is crucial in historical research, making these collections a valuable test case for automated methodologies.
- The projects, GeoDigRef and Embedding GeoCrossWalk, explored how automatic georeferencing can improve geographical searches and detailed the configurations and evaluations of the geoparser used.
Article Abstract
We report on two JISC-funded projects that aimed to enrich the metadata of digitized historical collections with georeferences and other information automatically computed using geoparsing and related information extraction technologies. Understanding location is a critical part of any historical research, and the nature of the collections makes them an interesting case study for testing automated methodologies for extracting content. The two projects (GeoDigRef and Embedding GeoCrossWalk) have looked at how automatic georeferencing of resources might be useful in developing improved geographical search capacities across collections. In this paper, we describe the work that was undertaken to configure the geoparser for the collections as well as the evaluations that were performed.
