There is an explosive growth of  Arabic documents and digital resources which contain information related to  geographic locations in Egypt. In the era of information explosion, information  retrieval (IR) tools, such as search engines, are the main tools people use to  quickly find the information they need. Typical keyword based search engines  still handle user's queries which contain geographic terms by traditional  information retrieval approaches. These engines only return the documents that  include places names as words not as geographic locations. They also do not  retrieve other documents that are geographically associated with that place,  namely that refer to places in the proximity of the subject place, or are contained  within it. This led to the need for a geographic information retrieval system,  particularly working on the Egyptian geographic locations in Arabic documents  and user's Arabic queries, to retrieve the relevant information user seeks to  know  aIssued also as CD 4aGeographical information retrieval 4aOntology  4aQuery explosion0 aAkram I.
