Claim One:
1. A method of predicting a property of a target object via inputting a query to a processor search manager apparatus, the processor search manager apparatus being coupled to a plurality of databases and comprising a processor and memory, the plurality of databases comprising a micro-body assemblage database and a spectral database, the method comprising: storing data objects in said micro-body assemblage database, each assemblage data object comprising micro-body assemblage data and one of a geographic location property and an environmental property associated with the micro-body assemblage data; storing data objects in said spectral database, each spectral data object comprising spectral data and at least one attribute associated with the spectral data; processing a query comprising information about a target object, the query information containing one of assemblage data and spectral data; using said search manager apparatus to search the micro-body assemblage database if assemblage data are present in the query and to search the spectral database if spectral data are present in the query; retrieving stored information about data objects having one of similar micro-body assemblage and spectra; and using a model and the retrieved stored information to predict at least one property of the target object in response to the query.
