Abstract

Different language versions of Wikipedia contain articles referencing the same place. However, an article in one language does not necessarily mean it is available in another language as well and linked to. This paper examines geotagged articles describing places in Honduras in both the Spanish and the English language versions. It demonstrates that a method based on simple features can reliably identify article pairs describing the same semantic place concept and evaluates it against the existing interlinks as well as a manual assessment.
