swe-geotagcontext-sparv

Text chunks are enriched with place names (and their geographic coordinates) occurring within them. This is based on the place names found by the named entity tagger SweNer. Geographical coordinates are looked up in the GeoNames database. This annotation can be applied to any text chunk, e.g. texts, paragraphs, sentences or tokens.

This analysis is used with Sparv. Check out Sparv's quick start guide to get started!

To use this analysis, add the following lines under export.annotations in the Sparv corpus configuration file:

- <text>:geo.geo_context  # Geographical places with coordinates
- <paragraph>:geo.geo_context  # Geographical places with coordinates
- <sentence>:geo.geo_context  # Geographical places with coordinates
