This paper presents the 2006 Miracle team’s approaches to the Ad-Hoc and Geographical Information Retrieval tasks. A first set of runs was obtained using a set of basic components. Then, by putting together special combinations of these runs, an extended set was obtained. With respect to previous campaigns some improvements have been introduced in our system: an entity recognition prototype is integrated in our tokenization scheme, and the performance of our indexing and retrieval engine has been improved. For GeoCLEF, we tested retrieving using geo-entity and textual references separately, and then combining them with different approaches.

This paper presents the 2005 MIRACLE team’s approach to Cross-Language Geographical Retrieval (GeoCLEF). The main goal of the GeoCLEF participation of the MIRACLE team was to test the effect that geographical information retrieval techniques have on information retrieval. The baseline approach is based on the development of named entity recognition and geospatial information retrieval tools and on its combination with linguistic techniques to carry out indexing and retrieval tasks.

The main goal of the bilingual and monolingual participation of the MIRACLE team in CLEF 2004 was to test the effect of combination approaches on information retrieval. The starting point was a set of basic components: stemming, transformation, filtering, generation of n-grams, weighting and relevance feedback. Some of these basic components were used in different combinations and order of application for document indexing and for query processing. A second order combination was also tested, mainly by averaging or selective combination of the documents retrieved by different approaches for a particular query.

Many progresses have been made since the Digital Earth notion was envisioned thirteen years ago. However, the mechanism for integrating geographic information into the Digital Earth is still quite limited. In this context, we have developed a process to generate, integrate and publish geospatial Linked Data from several Spanish National data-sets. These data-sets are related to four Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) themes, specifically with Administrative units, Hydrography, Statistical units, and Meteorology. Our main goal is to combine different sources (heterogeneous, multidisciplinary, multitemporal, multiresolution, and multilingual) using Linked Data principles. This goal allows the overcoming of current problems of information integration and driving geographical information toward the next decade scenario, that is, ?Linked Digital Earth.?

RESUMEN Las aplicaciones de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) a la Arqueología, u otra disciplina humanística no son una novedad. La evolución de los mismos hacia sistemas distribuidos e interoperables, y estructuras donde las políticas de uso, compartido y coordinado de los datos sí lo son, estando todos estos aspectos contemplados en la Infraestructura de Datos Espaciales. INSPIRE es el máximo exponente europeo en cuestiones de iniciativa y marco legal en estos aspectos. La metodología arqueológica recopila y genera gran cantidad de datos, y entre los atributos o características intrínsecas están la posición y el tiempo, aspectos que tradicionalmente explotan los SIG. Los datos se catalogan, organizan, mantienen, comparten y publican, y los potenciales consumidores comienzan a tenerlos disponibles. Toda esta información almacenada de forma tradicional en fichas y posteriormente en bases de datos relacionadas alfanuméricas pueden ser considerados «metadatos» en muchos casos por contener información útil para más usuarios en los procesos de descubrimiento, y explotación de los datos. Además estos datos también suelen ir acompañados de información sobre ellos mismos, que describe su especificaciones, calidad, etc. Cotidianamente usamos los metadatos: ficha bibliográfica del libro o especificaciones de un ordenador. Pudiéndose definir como: «información descriptiva sobre el contexto, calidad, condición y características de un recurso, dato u objeto que tiene la finalidad de facilitar su recuperación, identificación,evaluación, preservación y/o interoperabilidad». En España existe una iniciativa para estandarizar la descripción de los metadatos de los conjuntos de datos geoespaciales: Núcleo Español de Metadatos (NEM), los mismos contienen elementos para la descripción de las particularidades de los datos geográficos, que incluye todos los registros obligatorios de la Norma ISO19115 y del estudio de metadatos Dublin Core, tradicionalmente usado en contextos de Biblioteconomía. Conscientes de la necesidad de los metadatos, para optimizar la búsqueda y recuperación de los datos, se pretende formalizar la documentación de los datos arqueológicos a partir de la utilización del NEM, consiguiendo así la interoperabilidad de la información arqueológica. SUMMARY The application of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to Archaeology and other social sciences is not new. Their evolution towards inter-operating, distributed systems, and structures in which policies for shared and coordinated data use are, and all these aspects are included in the Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI). INSPIRE is the main European exponent in matters related to initiative and legal frame. Archaeological methodology gathers and creates a great amount of data, and position and time, aspects traditionally exploited by GIS, are among the attributes or intrinsic characteristics. Data are catalogued, organised, maintained, shared and published, and potential consumers begin to have them at their disposal. All this information, traditionally stored as cards and later in relational alphanumeric databases may be considered «metadata» in many cases, as they contain information that is useful for more users in the processes of discovery and exploitation of data. Moreover, this data are often accompanied by information about themselves, describing its especifications, quality, etc. We use metadata very often: in a book’s bibliographical card, or in the description of the characteristics of a computer. They may be defined as «descriptive information regarding the context, quality, condition and characteristics of a resource, data or object with the purpose of facilitating is recuperation, identification, evaluation, preservation and / interoperability.» There is an initiative in Spain to standardise the description of metadata in sets of geo-spatial data: the Núcleo Español de Metadatos (Spanish Metadata Nucleus), which contains elements for the description of the particular characteristics of geographical data, includes all the obligatory registers from the ISO Norm 19115 and from the metadata study Dublin Core, traditionally used in library management. Being aware of the need of metadata, to optimise the search and retrieval of data, the objective is to formalise the documentation of archaeological data from the Núcleo Español de Metadatos (Spanish Metadata Nucleus), thus obtaining the interoperability of the archaeological information.

El proyecto que he realizado ha consistido en la creación de un sistema de información geográfica para el Campus Sur UPM, que puede servir de referencia para su implantación en cualquier otro campus universitario. Esta idea surge de la necesidad por parte de los usuarios de un campus de disponer de una herramienta que les permita consultar la información de los distintos lugares y servicios del campus, haciendo especial hincapié en su localización geográfica. Para ello ha sido necesario estudiar las tecnologías actuales que permiten implementar un sistema de información geográfica, dando lugar al sistema propuesto, que consiste en un conjunto de medios informáticos (hardware y software), que van a permitir al personal del campus obtener la información y localización de los elementos del campus desde su móvil. Tras realizar un análisis de los requisitos y funcionalidades que debía tener el sistema, el proyecto ha consistido en el diseño e implementación de dicho sistema. La información a consultar estará almacenada y disponible para su consulta en un equipo servidor accesible para el personal del campus. Para ello, durante la realización del proyecto, ha sido necesario crear un modelo de datos basado en el campus y cargar los datos geográficos de utilidad en una base de datos. Todo esto ha sido realizado mediante el producto software Smallword Core 4.2. Además, ha sido también necesario desplegar un software servidor que permita a los usuarios consultar dichos datos desde sus móviles vía WIFI o Internet, el producto utilizado para este fin ha sido Smallworld Geospatial Server 4.2. Para la realización de las consultas se han utilizado los servicios WMS(Web Map Service) y WFS(Web Feature Service) definidos por el OGC(Open Geospatial Consortium). Estos servicios están adaptados para la consulta de información geográfica. El sistema también está compuesto por una aplicación para dispositivos móviles con sistema operativo Android, que permite a los usuarios del sistema consultar y visualizar la información geográfica del campus. Dicha aplicación ha sido diseñada y programada a lo largo de la realización del proyecto. Para la realización de este proyecto también ha sido necesario un estudio del presupuesto que supondría una implantación real del sistema y el mantenimiento que implicaría tener el sistema actualizado. Por último, el proyecto incluye una breve descripción de las tecnologías futuras que podrían mejorar las funcionalidades del sistema: la realidad aumentada y el posicionamiento en el interior de edificios. ABSTRACT. The project I've done has been to create a geographic information system for the Campus Sur UPM, which can serve as a reference for implementation in any other college campus. This idea arises from the need for the campus users to have a tool that allows them to view information from different places and services, with particular emphasis on their geographical location. It has been necessary to study the current technologies that allow implementing a geographic information system, leading to the proposed system, which consists of a set of computer resources (hardware and software) that will allow campus users to obtain information and location of campus components from their mobile phones. Following an analysis of the requirements and functionalities that the system should have, the project involved the design and implementation of the system . The information will be stored and available on a computer server accessible to campus users. Accordingly, during the project, it was necessary to create a data model based on campus data and load this data in a database. All this has been done by Smallword Core 4.2 software product. In addition, it has also been necessary to deploy a server software that allows users to query the data from their phones via WIFI or Internet, the product used for this purpose has been Smallworld Geospatial Server 4.2 . To carry out the consultations have used the services WMS (Web Map Service) and WFS (Web Feature Service) defined by the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium). These services are tailored to the geographic information retrieval. The system also consists of an application for mobile devices with Android operating system, which allows users to query and display geographic information related to the campus. This application has been designed and programmed over the project. For the realization of this project has also been necessary to study the budget that would be a real system implementation and the maintenance that would have the system updated. Finally, the project includes a brief description of future technologies that could improve the system's functionality: augmented reality and positioning inside the buildings.
