Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing filtered geospatial assets, the method comprising: receiving, by one or more computing devices, a filter request to associate a filter with a reference geospatial asset, the reference geospatial asset including geospatial data, the filter request including at least one filter parameter associated with limiting access to a portion of the geospatial data, the at least one filter parameter including a selected region of interest (ROI), receiving, by the one or more computing devices, an access request to access a filtered version of the reference geospatial asset, wherein the access request is associated with an access point associated with the filter; and applying, by the one or more computing devices, the filter to the reference geospatial asset to generate the filtered version of the reference geospatial asset, the selected ROI being represented within the filtered version by a plurality of region nodes, at least a portion of the plurality of the region nodes overlapping a boundary defining the selected ROI, wherein the filtered version provides access to only a portion of the geospatial data contained within the reference geospatial asset, wherein the filter is inclusionary in relation to the boundary such that the at least a portion of the plurality of region nodes overlapping the boundary are included within the selected ROI for purposes of applying the filter or the filter is exclusionary in relation to the boundary such that the at least a portion of the plurality of region nodes overlapping the boundary are not included within the selected ROI for purposes of applying the filter.
