Geo disambiguation
Posted on: Tue, 10/28/2008 - 09:10 #1

Hi Chris -

Geo disambiguation has been released as a new feature in R3.1.
R3.1 is currently in Tech Preview (read the blog entry for more details) and it will soon be rolled into production.
Try to experience with the new functionality and let us know if it solves the identity problems.

Regards.

Cambridge..

You're right. This is a weakness right now. Calais understands City, State, Country, etc - but doesn't understand the combination of these as a unique item. It's something we're thinking about (see other posts on address extraction). and want to make happen in the reasonably near future.

Paris, TX and Paris, France would be a startling mistake for a traveler to make,

Regards,
