Abstract

In this paper, an approach to geocode tweets published in Spanish is proposed. The tweets are related to traffic events within an urban context of the Mexico City. They are generated by a particular phenomenon for knowing the behavior of the involved geographic entities. In order to disambiguate and verify the consistency of information, an application ontology was defined. Thus, the core goal is to identify location as well as spatial relationships between entities presented in the events, using semantic and spatial analysis of the collected dataset. In consequence, a visualization method for presenting the results was also proposed. The paper describes the methodology for enabling the discovery of spatial patterns within traffic tweets and provides useful information to make timely decisions and contribute in the context of Knowledge Society.
