Abstract
Recognizing references to places in texts is needed in many applications, such assearch engines,loca-
tion-based social media and document classification. In this paper we present a survey of methods and
techniques for there cognition and identification of places referenced in texts. We discuss concept sand
terminology, and propose a classification of the solutions given in the literature. We introduce a
definition of the Geographic Scope Resolution (GSR) problem, dividing it in three steps: geoparsing,
reference resolution, and grounding references. Solutions to the first two steps are organized according
to the method used, and solutions to the third step are organized according to the type of out put produced. We found that it is difficult to compare existing solutions directly to one another, because they
of ten create their own bench marking data, targeted to their own problem.
