Base Claim:
1. A method, utilizing at least one computing processor and memory, of geocoding resources based on contained text, the method comprising: obtaining bodies of text included in resources; identifying, in the bodies of text, tokens referring to geographic locations, each geographic location being referred to by at least one token; identifying canonical identifiers of the geographic locations based on the tokens, each geographic location being associated with at least one canonical identifier; and for a given resource referencing a given geographic location: identifying off-page resources that refer to the given resource; scoring relevance of the given resource to the given geographic location as a function of (i) at least a quantity of first tokens in the given resource, the first tokens corresponding to a given canonical identifier of the given geographic location and (ii) at least a quantity of second tokens in the off-page resources, the second tokens corresponding to the given canonical identifier of the given geographic location; and responsive to the score exceeding a certain threshold, designating the given resource as relevant to the given geographic location in the memory.
