The projects locations-extractor and locations-locator has been extracted from project lvz-viz.
Idea is to have several micro services:
- one for extract named entities from texts that are likely to describe Geo-referenceable places
- a second one hosting a Nominatim server via nominatim-docker, that is configured to only contain data from Leipzig, as provided by BBBike
- a third one for getting the actual Geo coordinates for the before extracted entity from the hosted Nominatim server
These two micro services should then be used by
Future improvements can be:
- manually post processing results for cases where no, wrong or not relevant places have been found in texts
