What is a Geo-Tag and how is tagging automated?
Tag is a word or phrase used to make it easier for
people to find a relevant document while searching.
Geo-Tags are Geographic Locations
Unstructured data is analyzed to determine if phrases
or nouns are place names Attributes:
Place Name
Confidence % (relevant to content)
Anchor (location, length)
Place names are matched to Geographic Place
Names. Attributes:
Geographic Place Name
Point (lat, long)
Weight % (population)
Type (topo, hydro, political, etc.)
Category (city, state, park, lake, building, etc.)
https://community.apan.org
Improvements:
Maps display locations of
Social Media content.
Multi-Faceted Searches are
improved with a geographic
facet.
Geo-Tag data includes
attributes, like location and
reference (anchor) within a
source document, &
Geographic Name
BLUF:
APAN automated the geographic tagging (Geo-Tag) of social media content, to include blogs, wikis, forums, & media galleries. This GIS implementation demonstrates the interoperability Between APAN and a Geographic Text Searching & Referencing System.

Map is displayed when
editing post
By default, APAN will Geo-
Tag content unless the author
wants to exclude, create, or
remove Geo-Tag
Main post is processed for
Geo-Tag, while threads and
comments are not.
Authors Can Move or Edit the
Name of a Geo-Tag
