Abstract

GeoCLEF is an evaluation task running under the scope of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). The purpose of GeoCLEF is to test and evaluate cross-language geographic information retrieval (GIR). The GeoCLEF 2008 task presented twenty-five geographically challenging search topics for English, German and Portuguese. Eleven participants submitted 131 runs, based on a variety of approaches, including sample documents, named entity extraction and ontology based retrieval. The evaluation methodology and results are presented in the paper.
