Geographic Information Retrieval (GIR) community has generally accepted the thesis that both thematic and geographic aspect of documents are useful for GIR. This paper describes a preliminary experiment exploring this thesis by seperately index-ing/searching geographical relevant-terms (place names, geo-spatial relations, geographic concepts and geographic adjacetives) extracted from reference ...
