Abstract

With the proliferation of geo-positioning techniques and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers, the web is increasingly being used by mobile users and accurate user positioning is increasingly available. As a result, a spatial, or geographical web is emerging where both contents and users are associated with locations. This makes massive amounts of objects available on the web that possess both a geographical location and a textual description. Such spatial and textual data objects include stores, tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, businesses, entertainment services, etc. In this talk, Dr. Xin Cao will generally introduce some techniques of spatial and textual data management, including data indexing, querying, and mining.
