GeoTopics: An application developed by using the SIM-TBASSCO technology
Using the scripting technology from DASADA’s SIM-TBASSCO project we were able to quickly develop GeoTopics, a Web-based component application that collects and analyzes news articles from major English language newspapers. GeoTopics identifies the “hot topics” and “hot places” from each day’s news articles. Also, it breaks down the hot topic areas by places to determine the topics most relevant to a place. The initial GeoTopics application was created in less than a week, and the daily manual labor needed to perform the news analysis and to maintain the GeoTopics website takes less than 15 minutes. Without the scripting technology we estimated that the GeoTopics would have taken in the order of months to implement, and that the daily maintenance of the site would take several hours.
