GeospaCy is a web application built in Python language used for extracting spatial relation entities (spatRE) from text and Geo-referenced them.

Installation

There are few Python packages that are needed to install for running the application

1. Install spacy for natural language processing (NLP) tasks

pip install spacy

2. Install gensim library for data preprocessing

pip install gensim

3. Install streamit library for running web application

pip install streamlit

4. Install spacy-streamlit for display named entities (spatRE) in the text

pip install spacy-streamlit

5. Install GeoPandas

pip install geopandas

6. Install folium library for manipulating your data in Python, then visualize it in a Leaflet map via folium.

pip install folium

7. Install streamlit-folium library to visualize Leaflet map in streamlit web application

pip install streamlit-folium

How to run the web application

streamlit run 1_🏠_Parser.py
