地理界面为许多数字图书馆馆藏提供了自然的、可扩展的可视化，但数字图书馆中的广泛数据给识别和消除地名歧义带来了一些特殊问题。我们描述了在英仙座数字图书馆的主题消歧系统，并评估其性能。不同类型的文件对名称的分类差别很大，但地名消歧的准确率和召回率都很高，地名录比大多数其他应用程序高一个数量级。
Geographic interfaces provide natural, scalable visualizations for many digital library collections, but the wide range of data in digital libraries presents some particular problems for identifying and disambiguating place names. We describe the toponym-disambiguation system in the Perseus digital library and evaluate its performance. Name categorization varies significantly among different types of documents, but toponym disambiguation performs at a high level of precision and recall with a gazetteer an order of magnitude larger than most other applications.
