Web-Based Spatial Database for Real Property Data Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face difficulties in efficiently searching, gathering, transforming, and presenting real estate and land parcel information due to its dispersed and varied nature across different counties, with each county maintaining records in disparate formats, making it hard to find, sort, and analyze for various uses.
Innovation Solution
A web-based networked computer system with a spatial database architecture that automatically imports, transforms, and standardizes data from multiple sources, allowing for global searches based on various parameters and providing intuitive interfaces for users to access and view the information, including integration with external data sources and mapping services.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If real estate information is maintained at the county level with disparate data formats, then each county can maintain its own records independently, but it becomes difficult to search, gather, sort, analyze, and interpret the information across multiple counties
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges data from multiple county-level sources into a unified web-based spatial database system. The system consolidates disparate real estate records, assessments, and mapping data from multiple counties into a single accessible platform, allowing users to search and analyze information across county boundaries without dealing with the complexity of individual county systems.
Solution Approach 2:
The web-based spatial database system acts as an intermediary between users and the underlying county-level data sources. It provides a standardized interface and unified search mechanism that abstracts away the complexity of disparate county data formats, allowing users to access information from multiple counties through a single system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If data is stored in disparate formats from multiple sources, then each source can maintain its own data structure, but the difficulty and data formats vary greatly from county to county
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies parameter changes by standardizing data formats and structures when ingesting data from multiple county sources. It transforms disparate data formats into a unified schema, converting various data representations into consistent parameters that can be easily searched and accessed across the entire system.
Solution Approach 2:
The web-based spatial database system provides universal access to real estate information from multiple counties through a single interface. It implements multi-functional capabilities to handle different data formats, search methods, and access patterns, allowing users to interact with diverse data sources through a unified system that adapts to various query types.
3Reliability
If real estate records are maintained independently by each county, then each county has control over its own data, but the information is difficult to find, gather, sort through, analyze, and interpret for various uses
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and organizing data from multiple county sources into a unified structure before users need to access it. It conducts preliminary searches, gathers information from multiple sources, and pre-sorts data according to various criteria, so that when users query the system, the heavy lifting of data collection and organization has already been completed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges data from multiple independent county sources while preserving the reliability of each source's records. It combines the authoritative county-level data with the efficiency of a centralized search system, allowing users to access accurate county-specific information through a unified interface that maintains data integrity from the original sources.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods to search for, gather, transform, integrate, and present information representative of real property and land parcels. The systems and methods are web-based and include a spatial database configuration having an input side and an output side. The input side is capable of transforming data gathered from multiple disparate sources in an automated or semi-automated manner. The output side is capable of presenting an intuitive interface for users to search for, access, and view the transformed information.
