Add Place information to datasets

enridaga commented 3 years ago

Place information can be derived from songfacts.

This is already there, although it is not available for all tracks! As you can see from this example, when information about places is available, you should find: (i) the name of the place; and (ii) a list of facts on that place. In addition, in SongFacts, places and images are also very related. This is all documented in our list here.

I see, I guess what is missing is coordinate information, to display the place in a map. Maybe something that can be derived from Geonames?

Another way is using some NER and get the DBpedia/Wikidata entity to get the coordinates from. For example DBpedia Spotlight https://www.dbpedia-spotlight.org/api with your example "Aurora, Illinois":

curl -X GET "https://api.dbpedia-spotlight.org/en/annotate?text=Aurora%2C%20Illinois" -H "accept: application/json"

{
  "@text": "Aurora, Illinois",
  "@confidence": "0.5",
  "@support": "0",
  "@types": "",
  "@sparql": "",
  "@policy": "whitelist",
  "Resources": [
    {
      "@URI": "http://dbpedia.org/resource/Aurora,_Illinois",
      "@support": "1280",
      "@types": "Wikidata:Q515,Wikidata:Q486972,Schema:Place,Schema:City,DBpedia:Settlement,DBpedia:PopulatedPlace,DBpedia:Place,DBpedia:Location,DBpedia:City",
      "@surfaceForm": "Aurora, Illinois",
      "@offset": "0",
      "@similarityScore": "0.9999999999997016",
      "@percentageOfSecondRank": "0.0"
    }
  ]
}

which will allow to get the coords from DBpedia http://dbpedia.org/resource/Aurora,_Illinois

Got it, then we will enrich all those annotations for which place information is available, ideally after a first step of aggregation to avoid spreading data all over. Thanks!

Looks promising, thanks for the suggestion!
