Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GLOBAL HISTORICAL DATABASE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2009/151485
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In accordance with a number of embodiments, this document presents an innovative system and method which may be used to input data relating to any number of historical or scientific subjects, store the data in a collaborative format, and output data in any number of static or animated formats [FIG 2]. In various embodiments, this method may provide a revolutionary means for encoding the entire history of the earth, encoding the entire history of human cultures, and for ensuring that all input data adhere to a universal data format. It provides and specifies a number of innovative and collaborative protocols for input [FIG 3], storage [FIG 4], classification [FIGS 5A-5V], sorting [FIG 6A], filtering [FIG 6B], verifying [FIG 6C], compiling [FIG 8], updating [FIG 9], customizing [FIG 11], and publishing data [FIG 12]. It may also provide a means for creating a revolutionary format of global historical collaborative animated map [FIGS 10A-10V, FIGS 11A-11E]. It may be used widely in various applications, including but not limited to education, journalism, governments, international business, and international relations.
