Abstract

A method is provided that includes storing a plurality of data items in a data aggregation system. Each of the plurality of data items is associated with one or more location identifiers indicating a particular point on the earth. The method further includes receiving, by at least one processor, a query indicating a geographic location. Data items having associated location identifiers matching the received geographic location are retrieved from the data aggregation system. The method further includes outputting the retrieved data items.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

storing a plurality of data items in a data aggregation system, each of the plurality of data items being associated with one or more geographic location identifiers of a particular geographic point on earth, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of data items stored in the data aggregation system are further associated with one or more time identifiers including one or more time or time periods, indicative of a time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth;

receiving, by at least one processor, a query regarding a geographic location and including time information;

retrieving, from the data aggregation system, data items having associated geographic location identifiers matching the received geographic location and having associated time identifiers matching the received time information; and

outputting the retrieved data items.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more geographic location identifiers include latitude and longitude coordinates of a surface of the earth.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the one or more geographic location identifiers further include at least one of a height above or a depth below the surface of the earth.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the received geographic location includes a region on the earth.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the region on the earth is identified by multiple geocoded locations, the multiple geocoded locations described in at least latitude and longitude coordinates.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the time information of the query includes one or more time periods.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more location identifiers include content external to the data aggregation system.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the stored data items include at least one of:

tax data, building code data, weather data, insurance data, crime data, survey data, school data, demographic data and property data.

9. A system, comprising:

a computer processor;

a memory coupled to the processor; and

an integrated centralized property database, the processor being configured to;

receive from a user computer a query including a geographic location identifier, the geographic location identifier including one of a geocoded location and multiple geocoded locations identifying a polygon,

receive from the user computer a time period identifier including one or more time or time periods, indicative of a time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth,

retrieve from the integrated centralized property database location data, the location data including data associated with the geographic location identifier of a geographic location on the earth, and associated with the received time period identifier, and

provide the retrieved location data to the user computer via a graphical user interface.

10. The system of claim 9, the processor further configured to:

retrieve parcel information from the integrated centralized property database;

compare the retrieved parcel information with the location data to determine parcels associated with the geographic location identifier; and

output the parcels associated with the geographic location identifier.

11. The system of claim 10, the processor further configured to:

retrieve insurance policy information from the integrated centralized property database;

compare the retrieved insurance policy information with the parcels associated with the geographic location identifier to determine the insurance policies associated with the geographic location identifier; and

output the insurance policies associated with the geographic location identifier.

12. A system, comprising:

an integrated centralized property database stored on computer-readable storage media, the integrated centralized property database including a plurality of data items, each of the plurality of data items being associated with one or more geographic location identifiers indicating a particular geographic point on earth, and at least a portion of the plurality of data items further being associated with one or more time identifiers including one or more time or time periods, indicative of a time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth;

at least one computer processor communicatively coupled with the integrated centralized property database, the at least one computer processor configured to;

receive, from a user computer system, a query of a geographic location and time information indicative of the time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth;

retrieve, from the integrated centralized property database, data items having associated geographic location identifiers matching the received geographic location and having associated time identifiers matching the received time information; and

provide the retrieved data items to the user computer system via a graphical user interface.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the one or more geographic location identifiers include latitude and longitude coordinates.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more geographic location identifiers further include Z-axis coordinates, wherein the Z-axis coordinates are indicative of location above or below a surface of the earth.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the time identifier includes one or more time periods.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the one or more geographic location identifiers are associated with content external to the system.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the stored data items include at least one of:

tax data, building code data, weather data, insurance data, crime data, survey data, school data, demographic data and property data.

18. A system, comprising:

means for storing a plurality of data items in a data aggregation system, each of the plurality of data items being associated with one or more geographic location identifiers indicating a particular geographic point on earth, and at least a portion of the plurality of data items further being associated with one or more time identifiers including one or more time or time periods, indicative of a time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth;

means for receiving a query regarding a geographic location and time information indicative of the time history of an associated data item regarding the associated geographic point on earth;

means for retrieving data items having associated geographic location identifiers matching the received geographic location and having associated time identifiers matching the received time information; and

means for outputting the retrieved data items.
