Assigning Textual Names to Sets of Geographic Coordinates. Naaman, M., Song, Y. J., Paepcke, A., & Garcia-Molina, H. Computers, Environment, and Urban Systems Journal, July, 2005.
abstract   bibtex   
NameSet is a system that translates a set of geographic coordinates into a textual name based on the geographic regions where the coordinates occur. One possible application of NameSet is to concisely present the geographical scope of a set of geo-referenced observations to a human user. Another application is to generate text to depict a set of coordinates that appear on a web site --- text that could later be used for information retrieval applications. NameSet's computation is based on a simple algorithm, using off-the-shelf and web-based data sources. The system was proven effective in an application that automatically organizes and names sets of geo-referenced digital photographs.
