NETWORKED COMPUTER SYSTEM PROVIDING AN INTEGRATED SUITE OF WEB SERVICES AND A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) FOR REAL PROPERTY AND LAND PARCELS
First Claim
1. A networked computer system to search for, gather, transform, integrate, and present information representative of real property and land parcels, said networked computer system comprising:
- a spatial database architecture of hardware and software configured and programmed to;
automatically import source information representative of real property and land parcels from a plurality of disparate data sources across a plurality of disparate counties, assessing authorities, taxing authorities, and mapping authorities and being in a plurality of disparate data formats,automatically transform said source information from said plurality of disparate data formats having said source information to a standardized data format having normalized data,automatically store said normalized data in said standardized data format,perform a global search of said stored normalized data based on any of a plurality of predefined search parameters and combinations thereof to generate search results data; and
at least one web server operationally interfacing to said spatial database architecture and being configured and programmed to provide access to and real-time interaction with said spatial database architecture by an end-user.

Abstract
Systems and methods to search for, gather, transform, integrate, and present information representative of real property and land parcels. The systems and methods are web-based and include a spatial database configuration having an input side and an output side. The input side is capable of transforming data gathered from multiple disparate sources in an automated or semi-automated manner. The output side is capable of presenting an intuitive interface for users to search for, access, and view the transformed information.
