A Digital GeoLibrary: Integrating Keywords And Place Names
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Preserved Fulltext
We have developed and implemented a digital library that supports -but does not requiregeoreferenceable documents (i.e., documents with reference to geography through the use of a textual place name). ...
A digital library typically includes a set of keywords (or subject terms) for each document in its collection(s). ...
We also thank Dale Guenther of the USDA Forest Service for his help in gathering and understanding several GIS datasets. ...
