MetaCarta GeoSearch Toolkit for Solr

This presentation is an introduction to the capabilities, design and architecture of the MetaCarta GeoSearch Toolkit for Solr. The toolkit enables GeoTagging of fields using MetaCarta's GeoTagger as they are indexed by Solr and the indexing of the resulting geographic information. When querying it allows the combination of a geographic query with any other full text query and applies a GeoRelevance ranking to boost results where the query terms are more geographically relevant. It also enables filtering on other geographic meta-data.
