Computing the semantic similarity of geographic terms using volunteered lexical definitions
TL;DR: A knowledge-based approach to quantify the semantic similarity of lexical definitions, grounded in the recursive intuition that similar terms are described using similar terms, and relies on paraphrase-detection techniques and the lexical database WordNet.
A Survey of Volunteered Open Geo-Knowledge Bases in the Semantic Web
TL;DR: A survey of open knowledge bases, focusing on their geospatial dimension, with particular attention to the crucial issue of the quality of geoknowledge bases, as well as of crowdsourced data.

A Structural-Lexical Measure of Semantic Similarity for Geo-Knowledge Graphs
TL;DR: The network-lexical similarity measure (NLS) is defined, which estimates similarity by combining two complementary sources of information: the network similarity of vertices and the semantic similarity of the lexical definitions.
The semantic similarity ensemble
TL;DR: The semantic similarity ensemble (SSE) is defined as a composition of different similarity measures, acting as a panel of experts having to reach a decision on the semantic similarity of a set of geographic terms.
