Systems and methods for collection, management, and distribution of data using a crowdsourced knowledge database
Systems and methods for collection, management, and distribution of data with a crowdsourced knowledge data base are disclosed. The systems and methods may be configured for: storing information in a standardized format in one or more network-based databases having a collection of records stored thereon; providing remote access to users over a network so any one of the users can update the information about a record in the collection of records in real time through a graphical user interface, wherein the one of the users provides the updated information in a non-standardized format; converting the updated information into the standardized format; storing the standardized updated information in the database in the standardized format; generating a message containing the updated information whenever one has been stored; and transmitting the message to all of the users over the network in real time, so that each user has immediate access to up-to-date information.
1. A computer-implemented system for collection, management, and distribution of data with a crowdsourced knowledge database, the system comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions for:
storing information in a standardized format about one or more addresses in one or more network-based non-transitory storage devices having a collection of geographical records stored thereon;
providing remote access to users over a network so any one of the users can update the information about an address in the collection of geographical records in real time through a graphical user interface, wherein the one of the users provides the updated information in a non-standardized format dependent on a hardware and software platform used by the one of the users;
converting the non-standardized updated information into the standardized format by:
parsing the updated information in the non-standardized format;
recognizing keywords in the updated information to determine a type of the updated information; and
converting the updated information into the standardized format associated with the determined type;
storing the standardized updated information about the address in the collection of geographical records in the standardized format;
generating a first message containing the updated information about the address whenever updated information has been stored;
receiving a signal, in response to the first message, approving the updated information;
generating a second message containing the approved information about the address in response to the signal; and
transmitting the second message to a plurality of users over the network to enable immediate access to up-to-date information.
2. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more discrete entities are organized into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the one or more discrete entities sharing a common trait.
3. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more discrete entities are associated with geographical locations.
4. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more discrete entities comprise one or more addresses that are organized into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the one or more addresses sharing a common entry point.
5. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein providing the remote access comprises receiving the updated information in the non-standardized format.
6. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the users provide the updated information using mobile devices with secure connections to the one or more network-based non-transitory storage devices through the network.
7. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the message to the plurality of the users over the network further comprises displaying a notification on the mobile devices based on a current location of each mobile device.
8. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , wherein the updated information comprises at least one of text data, image data, or GPS location data.
9. The computer-implemented system of claim 1 , the instructions further comprising: generating a request to review the standardized updated information.
10. A computer-implemented method for collection, management, and distribution of data with a crowdsourced knowledge database, comprising:
storing information in a standardized format about one or more addresses in one or more network-based non-transitory storage devices having a collection of geographical records stored thereon;
providing remote access to users over a network so any one of the users can update the information about an address in the collection of geographical records in real time through a graphical user interface, wherein the one of the users provides the updated information in a non-standardized format dependent on a hardware and software platform used by the one of the users;
converting the non-standardized updated information into the standardized format by:
parsing the updated information in the non-standardized format;
recognizing keywords in the updated information to determine a type of the updated information; and
converting the updated information into the standardized format associated with the determined type;
storing the standardized updated information about the address in the collection of geographical records in the standardized format;
generating a first message containing the updated information about the address whenever updated information has been stored;
receiving a signal, in response to the first message, approving the updated information;
generating a second message containing the approved information about the address in response to the signal; and
transmitting the second message to a plurality of users over the network to enable immediate access to up-to-date information.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more discrete entities are organized into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the one or more discrete entities sharing a common trait.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more discrete entities comprise one or more addresses that are organized into a plurality of groups, each group including a subset of the one or more addresses sharing a common entry point.
13. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein providing the remote access comprises receiving the updated information in the non-standardized format.
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the users provide the updated information using mobile devices with secure connections to the one or more network-based non-transitory storage devices through the network.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein transmitting the message to the plurality of the users over the network further comprises displaying a notification on the mobile devices based on a current location of each mobile device.
16. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , wherein the updated information comprises at least one of text data, image data, or GPS location data.
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 10 , further comprising: generating a request to review the standardized updated information.
