Metacarta...????
Just came across this on the BBC-found it interesting
QUOTE
It received funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the investment arm of the CIA to develop its MetaCarta Geographic Text Search program.
In three to four years we expect this software to be ubiquitous, something that everybody has to use to do their work
Randy Ridley, MetaCarta
The software automatically extracts geographic references from text documents such as e-mails or webpages.
Millions of documents can be searched using keywords, place names or a time reference.
Search results appear as points on a map instead of as a list of documents. The company says this information can be used, for example, to track patterns of criminal activity and identify spots of intensity.
