Patent ID: 8046309

Claim:
A system for managing community awareness data for a pipeline community awareness program (CAP), the pipeline CAP providing information associated with at least one pipeline asset for the pipeline CAP to at least one contact for the pipeline CAP, the system comprising: at least one processor; a data management system executing on the at least one processor comprising: community awareness management (CAM) data, the CAM data comprising pipeline asset data for at least one pipeline asset and audience data for the at least one contact for the pipeline CAP to which at least some of the information associated with the at least one pipeline asset is provided; and geospatial data for an area for the pipeline CAP; a spatial management system executing on the at least one processor, generating at least one query for the CAM data and the geospatial data to the data management system, receiving selected CAM data and selected geospatial data from the data management system in response to the at least one query, and generating map data based on the selected geospatial data and at least some selected CAM data, the map data identifying at least a pipeline CAP area portion, the at least one contact within the pipeline CAP area portion to which the at least some information associated with the at least one pipeline asset is provided, and at least one member of a group consisting of at least one pipeline asset portion within the pipeline CAP area portion, at least one interest area portion for the at least one pipeline asset within the pipeline CAP area portion, and at least one buffer area portion for the at least one pipeline asset; a program management system executing on the at least one processor receiving an input, initiating the at least one query to the spatial management system based on the input, receiving the map data and the selected CAM data from the spatial management system, and generating at least one result of the query, the at least one result comprising the map data and the selected CAM data, the selected CAM data comprising at least one second member of a second group consisting of at least some of the pipeline asset data for the at least one pipeline asset and at least some of the audience data for the at least one contact to which the at least some information associated with the at least one pipeline asset is provided; an audience management system configured to manage the audience data for the at least one contact; and a user interface receiving the input, transmitting the input to the program management system, receiving the at least one result from the program management system, and generating the at least one result for display.
