1. A method for spatially associating disparate data comprising:
- selecting a spatial layer from at least one data system, the spatial layer having a plurality of spatial layer data attributes;
selecting a non-spatial layer disparate dataset from the at least one data system, the non-spatial layer disparate dataset having a plurality of dataset data attributes;
selecting a common data attribute that is common to at least one spatial layer data attribute and at least one dataset data attribute of the non-spatial layer disparate dataset;
storing a configuration definition in a memory, the configuration definition defining a linking relationship between the selected spatial layer common data attribute and the selected dataset common data attribute;
processing the configuration definition to spatially link the non-spatial layer disparate dataset and the spatial layer at a spatial processing system executing on at least one processor to create a spatially linked dataset;
spatially accessing the spatially linked dataset using the spatial processing system and, in response thereto, selecting at least a portion of the spatial layer data attributes from the spatial layer and at least another portion of the dataset data attributes from the non-spatial layer disparate dataset; and
using the spatial processing system, generating the selected portion of the spatial layer data attributes and the selected other portion of the dataset data attributes for display.

Abstract
A system and method linking one or more disparate datasets with one or more spatial layers to create linked datasets. One or more data attributes common to the dataset and the spatial layer are identified, and the linkage is defined between the dataset and the spatial layer. The spatial layer and the linked data set then may be queried using a single input query. Features from the spatial layer and features from the linked dataset that match the query are generated for display.
