Geographic Information Retrieval is fast emerging as an interdisciplinary hot-topic, both in an academic and commercial sense. Retrieving data based not only on conceptual key words, but some notion of the locational relevance of the information requires research of a range of techniques, for example• the extraction of geographic terms from structured and, more challengingly, unstructured data;• the identification and removal of ambiguities in such extraction procedures;• methodologies for sffeciently storing information about locations and their relationship;• development of search engines and algorithms to take advantage of such geographic information;• the combination of geographic and contextual relevance to give a meaningful combined relevance to documents; and• techniques to allow the user to interact with and explore the results of queries to a geographically-aware IR system.
