• Language and spatial cognition: comparing the roles of landmarks and street names in route instructions (2004, background): “Natural descriptions do contain references to street names, but to a lesser extent than to the landmarks found along these streets and at crossroads (Michon & Denis, 2001; Tom & Denis, 2003).”
• Enriching Wayfinding Instructions with Local Landmarks (2002, background): “Route directions shall provide a ‘set of procedures and descriptions that allow someone using them to build an advance model of the environment to be traversed’ ([23], p.”
• Generation of landmark-based navigation instructions from open-source data (2012, background): “From an NLG perspective, navigation systems are an obvious application area for situated generation, for which there has recently been increasing interest (see e.g. (Lessmann et al., 2006; Koller et al., 2010; Striegnitz and Majda, 2009)).”
