A module to provide a common interface for geoparsing services such as Yahoo!'s Placemaker and various CCK fields.
Geoparsing?
Geoparsing is the process by which structured geographic locations and their identifiers (eg placenames, lat-long coordinates) are extracted from unstructured content, such as a blog post. Different techniques are used by various providers of geoparsing services, but broadly speaking the process is to identify placenames within the text, identify the context in which the placename exists within the text and then lookup the placename in a database of placenames.
This module passes a node's content to a geoparsing service (provided by a geoparser service module.) and saving the structured information returned by the service into cck fields. The module can store coordinate, placename and place id information and provides a per-node-type configuration. It also provides functionality to bulk geoparse nodes and an action that can be triggered on node insert or update.
