#Geotyping

###Live Geocoding of Free Text

##Abstract

In recent years there has been a significant development in terms of geocoding and geoparsing. Almost all online 

web mapping services like Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and  Open 

Street Maps provide geocoding services, with varying degrees of accuracy. Progress has also been 

made to geoparsing techniques, since there are tools such as Yahoo Placemaker, trying to perform

geoparsing and geocoding simultaneously.

IMIS has a considerable experience on this field.  The institute has carried out  important 

research in the identification of geographic terms in  Greek and English text, while there is 

considerable know how on geocoding  services.

The scope of this thesis is to develop an AJAX web application that will use the existing 

possibilities for recognition of geographical terms in Greek and English  text in conjunction with 

online geocoding services,  in order  to identify geographical terms  in free text and  enable 

simultaneous display on the map.

##Demo

As the geoparse was an external module to geotyping, for testing purposes there is an embedded "dummy" geoparser that recognizes only 

uppercase words in free text. The two proxy files are used to circumvent the same origin policy.
