 Geographical or spatial information is now included in most of 
 exchanged data. Sometimes, it is directly provided through metadata, but 
 it is very often hidden and it becomes crucial to automatically discover 
 it.

 Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Data Mining communities have thus 
 merged their efforts in order to extract geospatial information from 
 textual documents, web pages, field data, and so forth. In this way, 
 recent researches take into account the content of documents (e.g. 
 terms) to identify geospatial data or to predict its geographic 
 location.

 Nevertheless, spatial information has some specificities that make 
 discovering spatial information and/or spatial correlations from large 
 amount of data still challenging. In this context, some proposals have 
 been focused on the formalization of geospatial concepts and 
 relationships, on the extraction of geospatial relations (e.g. rivers / 
 body of water, town / suburb) in free texts to offer to the database 
 community a unified framework for geodata discovery.

 This workshop aims at discussing and assessing some of these 
 strategies, involving NLP or Data Mining techniques, covering all or 
 part of the issues mentioned above.

 Topics of interest but not limited to:
 - Geospatial information retrieval in documens
 - Geospatial knowledge acquisition from documents
 - Classification of geospatial documents
 - Geospatial analysis of textual data
 - Integration of geospatial documents
 - Extraction of geospatial information from documents
 - Geospatial theasurus/ontology building from documents
 - Quality of extracted geospatial information
 - Analysis and integration of geospatial data from web documents
 - Visualization of geospatial information from documents
