Geoparsing refers to the capability to process a textual document
and identify key words and phrases that have a spatial context. A
GeoParser Service works with two bodies of information: a
reserved vocabulary (usually of place names) and a text source
(e.g., a newspaper, or voice track.) The GeoParser returns all
occurrences of the use (in the text source) of any word in the
reserved vocabulary. Each occasion establishes a geolink between
the source and the location associated with the reserved word.
For example, your home might be Geolinked with your water bill
through their common address.
