Abstract
Despite the prevalence of geographical context, existing web search facilities are poorly adapted to help people find information that relates to a particular location. Thus resources relating to places that are inside the specified place may not be found, nor may be places that are nearby or that are equivalent but referred to by another name. This paper provides a brief survey of existing facilities for geographical information retrieval on the web, before describing a set of tools and techniques that are being developed in the project called spatially-aware information retrieval on the Internet (SPIRIT).
