Abstract

This paper describes research being employed in the Tripod project to improve the retrieval of photographs through a comprehensive knowledge of where they were taken. The methods described here attempt to elicit semantics, and thus terms for use in indexing, related to the idea of place from theoretical geography. Three approaches are outlined: literature-based, empirical experiments, and data mining.
