Claim 11:
12. A method of distributing geospatial information via a Web-based platform which comprises at least one processor and at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and which stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data, the method comprising:
searching online data sources to identify potential events of interest;
identifying, in association with each of the identified potential events of interest, a metadata;
categorizing, based on the metadata, the identified potential events of interest into a first category of events comprising potential events of interest that occurred in the past and a second category of events comprising potential events of interest that is expected to occur in the future;
associating geospatial data matching conditions of the metadata for the potential events of interest in the first category of events with the metadata;
creating an acquisition request to capture new geospatial data matching conditions of the metadata for the potential events of interest in the second category of events;
receiving, by the Web-based platform, a user request for a geospatial source data product from a user via a Web-based interface, the user request for the geospatial source data product logically associable with information that specifies at least one location specification criteria and at least one non-location specification criteria;
generating, by the Web-based platform, an order in response to the user request for the geospatial source data product;
causing a searching of an archive of the geospatial data to identify one or more associated metadata that at least partially satisfies the at least one location specification criteria and the at least one non-location specification criteria associated with the user request for the geospatial source data product;
receiving the geospatial data and the associated metadata which were identified from the searching of the archive; and
distributing, by the Web-based platform, at least one set of the received geospatial data and the associated metadata which at least partially satisfies the at least one location specification criteria and the at least one non-location specification criteria associated with the user request for the geospatial source data product.
