ArcGIS LocateXT<\/a>\u00a0is entity extraction software for unstructured data analysis, enabling you to quickly distill location information from massive amounts of data. Its sense-making capability automatically identifies location information inside large volumes of your unstructured data to bring geospatial information to the surface.<\/em><\/p>\n

ArcGIS Pro Intelligence<\/a> is intelligence analysis software built for intelligence analysts working in the military and in civilian intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and the private sector. Use link analysis, 2D and 3D maps, timelines, imagery exploitation, and graphs to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships in data to inform decision-making.<\/em><\/p>\n","image_reference":false,"layout":"standard","image_reference_figure":"","snippet":"","spotlight_name":"","section_title":"","position":"Center","spotlight_image":false},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

One of the really powerful things that you can do with ArcGIS Pro Intelligence and ArcGIS LocateXT is respond to rapidly changing situations, conduct meaningful analysis, and build relevant information products for key decision makers in your organizations. Sometimes this can entail using unstructured text-based data, which can come from a wide variety of sources, including web pages, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, text files, PDFs, and a whole host of other formats.<\/p>\n

ArcGIS LocateXT makes it easier to extract useful information from that unstructured text within ArcGIS Pro Intelligence. In this article, we’ll explore a workflow that uses this two tools to help analyze the rise and fall of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n

Using ArcGIS LocateXT for Entity Extraction from Unstructured Text-based Data<\/h2>\n

As an ArcGIS Pro extension, ArcGIS LocateXT allows you to search and extract spatial information (also referred to as entities) and generate point features that represent those locations.\u00a0 LocateXT comes with two geoprocessing tools as well as the Extract Locations pane to simplify the process of turning your unstructured text in useful spatial information that you can use in your analysis.<\/p>\n

By default, Extract Locations will search for and extract numerous coordinate formats.\u00a0 However, you can also provide a custom location file that will match those custom location names and create spatial features for use in your analytical project.<\/p>\n

To help ease the creation of these custom location files, we introduced the Create Location File From Text File geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro Intelligence 2.8.\u00a0 This geoprocessing tool will take placename files from GeoNames, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency\u2019s (NGA) Geonet Names Server, or the U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information Service and turn those into ready-to-use custom location files for use with ArcGIS LocateXT.<\/p>\n

In five minutes or less and just a few steps, you can use ArcGIS Pro Intelligence and ArcGIS LocateXT to begin analyzing ISIS.<\/p>\n

Creating Custom Location Files<\/h3>\n

To get started, take this article<\/a> from the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars detailing the rise and fall of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).\u00a0 There is a significant amount of spatial information that would be key to understand how ISIS initially spread and their subsequent losses. To begin extracting spatial information, to extract it we will first need to build a custom location file.<\/p>\n

We can start by downloading a placenames file from NGA<\/a>.\u00a0 At the Country Files website, we have the option of downloading the entire country files dataset, and we will use this one.\u00a0 Once this is downloaded, we want to extract the files to a place where we can access them from ArcGIS Pro Intelligence.\u00a0 Then we want to open the geoprocessing pane and search for Create Location File From Text File, and open the tool.<\/p>\n

With the tool open we can go ahead and start populating the input parameters.\u00a0 For the Input Placenames File, we want to select the full country file, af.txt.\u00a0 The Data Source will be NGA GNS and we want to specify an output location that we can easily access from ArcGIS Pro Intelligence. For this custom location file, we want to only include the Administrative Features and Populated Places.\u00a0 We also have the option of including a region of interest.\u00a0 For this, we will use the country boundaries for Iraq and Syria to limit the scope of our output to just these two countries. Once that is done, the tool should look like this:<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1336562,"id":1336562,"title":"CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria","filename":"CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","filesize":23812,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/pro-intelligence\/defense\/analyzing-unstructured-text-with-arcgis-pro-intelligence-and-arcgis-locatext\/createlocationsfilefromtextfile_iraqsyria","alt":"Create Locations From Text File with parameters filled in","author":"48671","description":"","caption":"","name":"createlocationsfilefromtextfile_iraqsyria","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1333072,"date":"2021-08-26 22:03:34","modified":"2021-08-26 22:03:54","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":278,"height":516,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","medium-width":141,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","medium_large-width":278,"medium_large-height":516,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","large-width":278,"large-height":516,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","1536x1536-width":278,"1536x1536-height":516,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","2048x2048-width":278,"2048x2048-height":516,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria-251x465.png","card_image-width":251,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CreateLocationsFileFromTextFile_IraqSyria.png","wide_image-width":278,"wide_image-height":516}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
