Abstract

See full text

A system and method for using universal location referencing objects (ULRO) to provide geographic information. As described herein, an embodiment of a ULRO comprises a permanent identification code designed to identify a selected location. A location in turn may be associated with one or more geographic items. A ULRO can be employed to establish traversable links or connections between a file-of-reference and third-party-files for a broad range of database formats. A file-of-reference is a geospatial file used for permanent storage of a file owner's geographic data. A third-party-file is a geospatial file used for permanent storage of a third-party's geographic data. Whatever its format may happen to be, a file-of-reference or a third-party-file can typically be transformed into other formats that may be more appropriate for certain applications. In accordance with various embodiments of the present invention, this technique can be used to establish traversable links between a map-of-reference and one or more of third-party maps and third-party-spatial data files.
