Method and system for retrieving and serving regulatory history for a property
First Claim
1. A system for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property, comprising:
- a plurality of remote computers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, and having data sources associated therewith;
a further remote computer having a data source associated therewith that is different from the data sources associated with each of said plurality of remote computers;
a communications network; and
a local computer selectively coupled to said plurality of remote computers and said further remote computer via said communications network, said local computer being configured tocrawl said plurality of remote computers over said communications network to build a local database,store, in the local database the data sources,retrieve a plurality of real property identifiers from said plurality of remote computers over said communications network based upon the data sources, each of the plurality of real property identifiers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith,search the local database for a given real property based upon a given real property identifier associated therewith to determine which of said plurality of remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property,determine whether the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is complete,retrieve land use based regulatory history data from said further remote computer over said communications network based upon at least one of the retrieved plurality of real property identifiers when the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is not complete, anddisplay the land use based regulatory history data for the given real property on a display.

Abstract
Described is a method and system for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property. An identification of data sources for permits and approvals is stored in a computer system. Property identifiers from the data sources are stored in the computer system. The system identifies the types of permit and approval data available from each of the data sources for each of the property identifiers. A determination can be made of the completeness of the regulatory history available for each property associated with each of said property identifiers. The system receives a request for the regulatory history of at least one of the properties associated with the property identifiers. A web page is populated with a list of the regulatory history for the property.

11. A system for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property, comprising:
-
a plurality of remote computers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, and having data sources associated therewith, and each of said plurality of remote computers comprising a processor and memory coupled thereto; a further remote computer having a data source associated therewith that is different from the data sources associated with each of said plurality of remote computers; a communications network; and a local computer selectively coupled to said plurality of remote computers and said further remote computer via said communications network, said local computer being configured to crawl said plurality of remote computers over said communications network to build a local database, store, in the local database the data sources, retrieve a plurality of real property identifiers from said plurality of remote computers over said communications network based upon the data sources, each of the plurality of real property identifiers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, search the local database for a given real property based upon a given real property identifier associated therewith to determine which of said plurality of remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property, determine whether the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is complete based upon at least one of a threshold amount of land use based regulatory history data and at least one of the data sources being from a predetermined one of said plurality of remote computers, retrieve land use based regulatory history data from said further remote computer over said communications network based upon at least one of the retrieved plurality of real property identifiers when the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is not complete, and display the land use based regulatory history data for the given real property on a display. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method of retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property, comprising:
using a local computer selectively coupled to a plurality of remote computers via a communications network, the plurality of remote computers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, and having data sources associated therewith, the local computer being used to crawl the plurality of remote computers over the communications network to build a local database, store, in the local database the data sources, retrieve a plurality of real property identifiers from the plurality of remote computers over the communications network based upon the data sources, each of the plurality of real property identifiers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, search the local database for a given real property based upon a given real property identifier associated therewith to determine which of the plurality of remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property, determine whether the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is complete, retrieve land use based regulatory history data from a further remote computer over the communications network based upon at least one of the retrieved plurality of real property identifiers when the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is not complete, the further remote computer having a data source associated therewith that is different from the data sources associated with each of the plurality of remote computers, and display the land use based regulatory history data for the given real property on a display. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A system for retrieving and serving the regulatory history of a property from a plurality of remote computers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith and having data sources associated therewith, and from a further remote computer having a data source associated therewith that is different from the data sources associated with each of the plurality of remote computers over a communications network, the system comprising:
a local computer selectively coupled to the plurality of remote computers and said further remote computer via the communications network, said local computer being configured to crawl said plurality of remote computers over said communications network to build a local database, store, in the local database the data sources, retrieve a plurality of real property identifiers from said plurality of remote computers over the communications network based upon the data sources, each of the plurality of real property identifiers having land use based regulatory history data associated therewith, search the local database for a given real property based upon a given real property identifier associated therewith to determine which of the plurality of remote computers has land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property, determine whether the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is complete, retrieve land use based regulatory history data from the further remote computer over said communications network based upon at least one of the retrieved plurality of real property identifiers when the land use based regulatory history data available for the given real property is not complete, and display the land use based regulatory history data for the given real property on a display. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
