Many of us at the NKOS circle know Linda Hill, who was one of the
organizers of the first NKOS workshop in 1998 and has been
contributing to the NKOS Workshops and Digital Gazetteers workshops
since 1997. She was also the first webmaster of NKOS Website and the
first NKOS listserv manager.
The MIT Press just published her new book "Georeferencing: The
Geographic Associations of Information".
"After a brief overview of relevant material from cognitive psychology
on how humans perceive and respond to geographic space, Hill
introduces the reader to basic information about geospatial
information objects, concepts of geospatial referencing, the role of
gazetteer data, the ways in which geospatial referencing has been
included in metadata structures, and methods for the implementation of
geographic information retrieval (GIR). 'Georeferencing' will be a
valuable reference for librarians, archivists, scientific data
managers, information managers, designers of online services, and any
information professional who deals with place-based information."
