DISCOVERING POINTS OF INTEREST FROM USERS MAP ANNOTATIONS
First Claim
1. A system that facilitates generating a point of interest related to a geographic location comprising:
- an interface component that collects a portion of annotation data from two or more users, the portion of annotation data includes at least one of a geographic location and a user specific description of the geographic location;
an annotation aggregator that evaluates annotation data corresponding to the geographic location; and
the annotation aggregator creates a point of interest (POI) for the geographic location based upon the evaluation and associates the geographic location with at least one of an identified location extracted from two or more users or a universal description extracted from two or more users.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates generating a point of interest related to a map. An interface component can collect a portion of annotation data from two or more users, wherein the portion of annotation data is associated with a digital map and includes at least one of a map location and a user specific description of the map location. An annotation aggregator can evaluate annotation data corresponding to the map location on the digital map. The annotation aggregator can create a point of interest (POI) for the map location based upon the evaluation and populates the digital map with at least one of an identified location extracted from two or more users or a universal description extracted from two or more users.

17. A computer-implemented method that facilitates maintaining informational integrity of a list of geographic points of interest, comprising:
-
gathering geographic annotation data and a corresponding location from two or more users; analyzing the geographic annotation data and corresponding location to extract a point of interest (POI); identifying a description for the POI based upon the analysis of the annotation data gathered; assessing a popularity ranking for at least one of the extracted POI or an existing POI; and rendering the POI based upon a popularity hierarchy ascertained by the assessment. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A computer-implemented system that facilitates generating a point of interest (POI), comprising:
-
means for collecting a portion of annotation data from two or more users, the portion of annotation data is associated with at least one of a geographic location and a user specific description of the geographic location; means for evaluating annotation data corresponding to the geographic location within a pre-defined geographic range; means for generating a candidate ngram for the geographic location based upon evaluation of annotation data; means for clustering the geographic location within a pre-defined geographic range; means for utilizing a dendrogram to cluster the geographic locations; means for computing a parameter on a pairing of the ngram and the cluster; means for creating a point of interest (POI) for the geographic location based upon at least one of the evaluation or the computed parameter; means for extracting a description for the POI based at least in part upon at least one of the evaluation or the computed parameter; means for generating at least one of an identified location extracted from two or more users or a universal description extracted from two or more users; means for assessing a popularity ranking for at least one of the extracted POI or an existing POI; and means for rendering the POI based upon a popularity hierarchy ascertained by the assessment.
