[Spatialml-discussion] Welcome

[Discussion of S. G. <spa...@li...>]

Welcome to the SpatialML discussion list!
SpatialML is a markup language for representing spatial expressions in
natural language documents. The goal is to allow for potentially better
integration of text collections with resources such as databases that
provide spatial information about a domain, including gazetteers, physical
feature databases, mapping services, etc.

A draft version of the first set of SpatialML Guidelines (version 1.0) are
available at:

*http://sourceforge.net/projects/spatialml*<http://sourceforge.net/projects/spatialml>

We expect that subsequent releases will incorporate feedback from many
others in the research and development community.
As the guidelines mature, we will be providing additional links for
resources related to SpatialML, including annotation editors, annotated
data, and automatic taggers.

Best wishes,
Inderjeet.
