Abstract :
The evolution of information technologies has simplified the handling of huge amounts of earth science data. However, since various problems exist before these data can be exploited well, new uses are required. One example is combining earth science data with spatiotemporal data on the Web. In our research, we focus on Wikipedia, which is a Web encyclopedia that has many constructional features. We report our system that extracts spatiotemporal data on Wikipedia and visualizes them.
