[Portugal] Divulgação: Europeana Gazetteer e Geoparser

[Fernanda Nery]

Por mero acaso, encontrei os dois recursos abaixo descritos - que para além
da aplicabilidade e utilidade genérica têm a particularidade de ser
desenvolvidos por equipas de universidades portuguesas.
[Para variar do tema deprimente dos últimos mails desta lista, sugiro
explorar os protótipos e ficar mais animado por ver trabalho interessante a
ser desenvolvido em .pt]
