ABSTRACT:: In this paper we present an algorithm which
automatically extracts geopostitional coordinate index
terms from text to support georeferenced document indexing
and retrieval. Under this algorithm, words and phrases 
containing geographic place names or characteristics are
extracted from a text document and used as input to database
functions which use spatial reasoning to approximate stat-
istically the geoposition being referenced in the text. WE
conclude with a discussion of preliminary results and future
work.
