Abstract
This paper describes the GEOUJA System, a Geographical Information Retrieval (GIR) system submitted by the SINAI group of the University of Jaén in GeoCLEF 2007. The objective of our system is to filter the documents retrieved from an information retrieval (IR) subsystem, given a multilingual statement describing a spatial user need. The results of the experiments show that the new heuristics and rules applied in the geo-relation validator module improve the general precision of our system. The increasing of the number of documents retrieved by the information retrieval subsystem also improves the final results.
