EDINA's Unlock service comprises of two middleware APIs, Unlock Places and Unlock Text. Unlock Places allows you to search for or georeference place names and Unlock Text is a powerful geoparser that allows you to mine text for references to place names. As the services are APIs they can be called programatically and the searches and results generated can be incorporated into programs or websites.
