Abstract

See full text

A method for quantifying localness of content can be organized into several stages of information acquisition and processing, with each stage focusing on filtering or qualifying content based on geographic information relevant to a place. The method may comprise bootstrapping an initial set of terms for the place, building a local content corpus for the place utilizing the initial set of terms, and populating an index with information from documents in the local content corpus. In response to a request about the place, a query is formed and provided to the index for retrieving local content relevant to the place.
