Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of computing relative properties and not just retrieving absolute properties when generating geographic referring expressions such as “northern France”. We describe an algorithm that computes spatial properties at run-time by means of spatial operations such as intersecting and analyzing parts of wholes. The evaluation of the algorithm suggests that part-whole relations are key in geographic expressions.
