In this paper we present a complete system for the treatment of the geographical dimension in the text and its application to information retrieval. This system has been evaluated in the GeoTime task of the 9th NTCIR workshop, making it possible to compare the system with other current approaches to the topic. In order to participate in this task we have added to our GIR system the temporal dimension. The system proposed here has a modular architecture in order to add or modify features. In the development of this system we have followed a QA-based approach to improve the system performance.
