Abstract
This paper presents a method based on information retrieval to enrich corpus using bootstrapping techniques. A supervised corpus manually validated is provided, and then snippets are obtained from Web in order to increase the size of the initial corpus. Although this technique has already been reported in the literature, the main objective of this work is to apply it under the specific task of GEO/NO-GEO toponym disambiguation.The disambiguation procedure is evaluated by a classification model observing favorable results.
