Place descriptions are a common way for people to describe a location, but no current tools are smart enough to understand them. Emergency call centres are risking lives, users of navigation or web services are frustrated and addressing these problems costs billions of dollars per year. This project comes with a novel, interdisciplinary approach to automatically interpret human place descriptions and will develop novel methods to capture placenames with their meaning for smarter databases and automatic interpretation procedures. This acquired knowledge will be an important step forward for Australia's data custodians and users. Australia's location information industry will gain a significant advantage on a highly competitive global market.

地点描述是人们描述位置的一种常见方式，但目前还没有足够智能的工具来理解它们。紧急呼叫中心冒着生命危险，导航或网络服务的用户感到沮丧，解决这些问题每年花费数十亿美元。该项目采用了一种新颖的跨学科方法来自动解释人类的地点描述，并将开发新的方法来捕获地名，并将其用于更智能的数据库和自动解释程序。获得的知识将是澳大利亚数据保管人和用户向前迈出的重要一步。澳大利亚的位置信息产业将在竞争激烈的全球市场上获得显著优势。
