Body
I may actually be able to help a little here (my research is in the area of Toponym Resolution). If I understand you correctly, you are looking for a way to (1) find the place names in the text, (2) disambiguate the place name's geographic reference, and (3) spatially ground whole sentences or paragraphs. There are a lot of open source packages that can do #1. <a href="http://nlp.stanford.edu/software/corenlp.shtml" rel="noreferrer">Stanford Core NLP</a>, <a href="http://opennlp.apache.org/" rel="noreferrer">OpenNLP</a> There are a few packages that can do #1 and #2. <a href="https://github.com/Berico-Technologies/CLAVIN" rel="noreferrer">CLAVIN</a> is probably the only ready to use open source application that can do this at the moment. <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/boss/geo/" rel="noreferrer">Yahoo Placemaker</a> costs money but can do it. There isn't really a package that can do #3. There is a newer project called <a href="https://github.com/utcompling/textgrounder" rel="noreferrer">TEXTGROUNDER</a> doing something called "Document Geolocation", but while the code is available it is not set up be run on your own input texts. I only recommend you look at it if you are itching to either start or contribute to a project trying to do something like this. All three tasks are still part of ongoing research and can get incredibly complicated depending on the details of the source text. You didn't provide much detail about your texts, but hopefully this information can help you.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
