I can not find a potentially excelent reference that was done by about 5 years ago by maybe a GSoC student that I think then hired on with Google, but the basically he wrote a document parser that looked for location references in the text and then tagged the document with locations and lat/longs. If I remember correctly it as a gazetteer based system and it is open source and was online somewhere also.

Hi, does anybody knows about some opensource software dedicated to automatic geocoding of text documents ? The idea of that "black box" would be: * give, as an input, a text document or a PDF, * receive, as an output, a list of place names with their coordinates / a map of POI corresponding to that places. Using the geonames database (http://www.geonames.org/), the solution appears to be only a fulltext search, that could be done using Lucene (https://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html). I found the metacarta solution (http://www.metacarta.com/products-platform-geotag.htm) but couldn't find any opensource solution. Thanks for your suggestions.
