Claim Text:
1. A method of storing geographically-referenced data, the method comprising: generating a first index value for first geographically-referenced data, the first index value representative of a first geographic location corresponding to the first geographically-referenced data; storing the first geographically-referenced data and the first index value in a storage device such that the first geographically-referenced data is stored contiguous to other geographically-referenced data of the first geographic location in a physically-sequential manner based on the first index value of the first geographically-referenced data; and storing a second index value, and second geographically-referenced data corresponding to the second index value, for a second geographic location encompassing the first geographic location, the second index value corresponding to the first index value from which a least significant digit has been truncated to reference a larger geographic area than that indicated by the first index value, the second data corresponding to surveillance activity over the larger geographic area, the first geographically-referenced data being a subset of the second geographically-referenced data, the second geographically-referenced data being stored in a first regional server at a location within the second geographic location and the second geographically-referenced data being stored in a physically-sequential manner based on corresponding index values for geographically-referenced data within the larger geographic area.
