Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media may provide a view of geospatial information. A user's selection of a location may be obtained. Characteristic information describing characteristics of the location may be obtained. Activities information describing activities of the location may be obtained. An interface (e.g., user interface, API) enabling presentation of a geospatial view of the activities of the location with respect to the characteristics of the location may be provided.

Claims (42)

1. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:

obtaining a selection of a location;

obtaining characteristic information describing characteristics of the location;

obtaining activities information describing current activities and future activities scheduled or predicted to occur at the location within a specified time duration of a current time;

providing an interface, wherein the interface enables presentation of a geospatial view of the current activities and the future activities of the location with respect to the characteristics of the location, the interface further comprising a listing of digital files separate from the geospatial view, at least a subset of the digital files corresponding to one or more of the future activities, and the geospatial view comprising a preview of a particular digital file, and wherein the interface enables text associated with a first activity to be tagged; and

updating the interface over time to continuously simulate the current activities and the future activities.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the characteristics of the location include physical objects of the location and the activities of the location include events or reports of the location.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:

presenting, via the interface, formatted views of narratives for the events or the reports of the location, the formatted views of the narratives including separation of the narratives into multiple sections.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the narratives comprise unstructured information, and wherein presenting the formatted views of the narratives comprises changing spacing of groupings of text in the narratives based at least in part on presence of one or more characters or the presence of a combination of characters in the unstructured information.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the system to perform obtaining a media file of the location, the media file associated with a position within the location, wherein the interface further enables presentation of a geospatial view of the media file at the position within the location.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the media file of the location is obtained through a decorator operation, the decorator operation finding and providing the media file of the location.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the decorator operation finds the media file using a federated search, the federated search including a search of one or more external data sources.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the activities information further describes activities in an area surrounding the location.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the text is first text, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to perform:

suggesting, via the interface, second text for tagging based at least in part on a machine learning algorithm identifying the text as representing a value of interest.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user input is first user input indicative of a first tag applied to a first portion of the text, wherein converting the tagged text comprises converting the tagged first portion of the text to the property or the link associated with the first activity, and wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to perform:

receive, at the user interface, second user input indicative of a second tag applied to a second portion of the text,

wherein the second tag is a different type of tag than the first tag.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface comprises a narrative section an overview section and a tagged section indicating tags of entities within the geospatial view.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to perform:

playing a second particular digital file within the interface and refraining from playing the particular digital file within the interface.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interface enables presentation of the geospatial view of recurring activities within the location.

14. A method implemented by a computing system including one or more processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, wherein the method is performed using the one or more processors, the method comprising:

obtaining a selection of a location;

obtaining characteristic information describing characteristics of the location;

obtaining activities information describing current activities and future activities scheduled or predicted to occur at the location within a specified time duration of a current time;

providing an interface, wherein the interface enables presentation of a geospatial view of the current activities and the future activities of the location with respect to the characteristics of the location, the interface further comprising a listing of digital files separate from the geospatial view, at least a subset of the digital files corresponding to one or more of the future activities, and the geospatial view comprising a preview of a particular digital file, and wherein the interface enables text associated with a first activity to be tagged; and

updating the interface over time to continuously simulate the current activities and the future activities.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the characteristics of the location include physical objects of the location and the activities of the location include events or reports of the location.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the interface further enables presentation of formatted views of narratives for the events or the reports of the location, the formatted views of the narratives including separation of the narratives into multiple sections.

17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising obtaining a media file of the location, the media file associated with a position within the location, wherein the interface further enables presentation of a geospatial view of the media file at the position within the location.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the media file of the location is obtained through a decorator operation, the decorator operation finding and providing the media file of the location.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform:

obtaining a selection of a location;

obtaining characteristic information describing characteristics of the location;

obtaining activities information describing current activities and future activities scheduled or predicted to occur at the location within a specified time duration of a current time;

providing an interface, wherein the interface enables presentation of a geospatial view of the current activities and the future activities of the location with respect to the characteristics of the location, the interface further comprising a listing of digital files separate from the geospatial view, at least a subset of the digital files corresponding to one or more of the future activities, and the geospatial view comprising a preview of a particular digital file, and wherein the interface enables text associated with a first activity to be tagged; and

updating the interface over time to continuously stimulate the current activities and the future activities.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the interface further enables presentation of formatted views of narratives for the events or the reports of the location, the formatted views of the narratives including separation of the narratives into multiple sections.
