Presenting a Temporal Sequence of Geographic Location-Specific Digital Data

摘要

Methods and systems for presenting a temporal sequence of geographic location-specific data are disclosed. These include presenting a temporal sequence of geographic location-specific data in response to a single query. A query that includes data specifying a selected geographic location and a time interval is received. In response to the query, at least three temporally distinct times are selected to represent the time interval. At least one visual image data file is selected to represent the selected geographic location at each of the at least three temporally distinct times. At least one additional contextual data file is selected to represent the selected geographic location at each of the at least three temporally distinct times. The selected visual image data files and additional contextual data files are presented in temporal sequence to represent the progression of time at the selected geographic location over the time interval.
