- Abstract
The growing availability of GPS and localization technologies opens up new challenges regarding the use of position information for Location Based Services. As a side effect, several research questions arise, one of which we consider in this paper: "What is the meaning of place?". Here, we present two ongoing projects that we believe can contribute to the answer. The first regards the semantic enrichment of place, starting from a simple description of the place towards a concept network; the second focuses the natural language description of this network, as a final output to the user. We present these two projects, focus on their intersection and give an example of the end results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
