Abstract:
1. A method for geo-coding a plurality of objects, the method comprising: providing a plurality of objects that include a plurality of sequenced objects that have a sequential relationship; identifying an explicitly geo-located object within said plurality of objects, said explicitly geo-located object having a location; determining a relationship between said explicitly geo-located object and the remaining plurality of objects, wherein the relationship between the explicitly geo-located object and the remaining plurality of objects comprises a particular annotation that is applied to the plurality of objects; determining a location for each of the remaining plurality of objects based on the location of the explicitly geo-located object and the relationship between the explicitly geo-located object and the remaining plurality of objects; and determining the location for each of the remaining plurality of objects based on the sequential relationship between the sequenced objects and the explicitly geo-located object.
