Abstract
A controller, responsive to detecting geospatial and temporal information associated with a mention of an entity in a document, for converting the geospatial information into a specified geospatial format and the temporal information into a specified temporal format. The controller for computing prefix-based geospatial values for the converted geospatial information and prefix-based temporal values for the converted temporal information. The controller for encoding an entry in a knowledge graph for the mention of the entity from the document with the prefix-based geospatial values and the prefix-based temporal values, wherein each digit of the prefix-based geospatial values and the prefix-based temporal values in the knowledge graph that matches another one or more prefix-based geospatial values and another one or more prefix-based temporal values in another entry for another entity mention in the knowledge graph reflects a degree of granularity of geotemporal proximity of the entity and the another entity.
