1. A method comprising:
- retrieving a set of files from one or more computers;
determining to analyze the set of files to identify a plurality of files among the set of files that contain spatial information;
assigning a spatial relevance score to each of the plurality of files;
wherein the spatial relevance score for each of the plurality of files comprises a measure of a degree to which a respective one of the plurality of files relates to a spatial location identified in the spatial information of the respective one of the plurality of files;
causing, at least in part, storage of information about the plurality of files, said stored information indicating that the identified files contain spatial information and including the spatial relevance score for each of the plurality of files; and
causing, at least in part, display of an indication that the identified files contain spatial information.
