1. A method for extracting attribute data from a media file, said method comprising:
- capturing a media file via a geographic data collector device wherein said media file comprises a portion of a geographic data file, said media file captured a field in a form of at least one image portion and at least one audio portion;
utilizing a position determining component to automatically provide a location of a geographic feature at a time that the media file is captured a field;
automatically identifying an attribute of the geographic feature which is described in the media file;
accessing a configuration file which defines how said attribute is to be displayed by an office application, such that said attribute displayed by said office application is not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature captured by said geographic data collector but is instead a symbol representative of the attribute of the geographic feature; and
displaying said symbol representative of said attribute, and not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature, in a manner consistent with said configuration file and in a displayed location consistent with collected geographic data of said geographic feature.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention recite a method for extracting attribute data from a media file. In one embodiment, an attribute of a geographic feature, which is described in at least one media file, is automatically identified. A configuration file is then accessed which defines how the attribute is to be displayed by an office application. The attribute is then displayed in a manner consistent with the configuration file.

9. A system for extracting attribute data from a media file, said system comprising:
-
a bus; a memory communicatively coupled with said bus; and a processor communicatively coupled with said bus, said processor configured for executing a method for extracting attribute data from a media file, said method comprising; capturing a media file via a geographic data collector device wherein said media file comprises a portion of a geographic data file, said media file captured afield in a form of at least one image portion and at least one audio portion; utilizing a position determining component to automatically provide a location and an elevation of a geographic feature at a time that the media file is captured afield; automatically identifying an attribute of the geographic feature which is described in said media file; accessing a configuration file which defines how said attribute is to be displayed by an office application, such that said attribute displayed by said office application is not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature captured by said geographic data collector but is instead a symbol representative of the attribute of the geographic feature; and displaying said symbol representative of said attribute, and not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature, in a manner consistent with said configuration file and in a displayed location consistent with collected geographic data of said geographic feature. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-usable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions when executed cause a computer system to perform a method extracting attribute data from a media file, said method comprising:
-
capturing a media file via a geographic data collector device wherein said media file comprises a portion of a geographic data file, said media file captured afield in a form of at least one image portion and at least one audio portion; utilizing a global navigation satellite system position determining component to provide a location of a geographic feature at a time that the media file is captured afield; automatically identifying an attribute of the geographic feature which is described in said media file; accessing a configuration file which defines how said attribute is to be displayed by an office application, such that said attribute displayed by said office application is not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature captured by said geographic data collector but is instead a symbol representative of the attribute of the geographic feature; and displaying said symbol representative of said attribute, and not the image file or the audio file of the geographic feature, in a manner consistent with said configuration file and in a displayed location consistent with collected geographic data of said geographic feature. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
