Location Isn’t Everything: Embedding Meaning in Your Geodata

Jesper Andersen (Bloom Studios)

2:15pm Wednesday, 03/31/2010

Mapping
Location: Ballroom III

As a real estate search engine, Trulia encounters a great deal of geo-coded and locale specific data, not just about the properties themselves but also conditions and contexts guiding a home purchasing decision. Some of this data is standardized or factual, but a great deal is subjective and difficult to quantify and integrate into a coherent data set. We’ll discuss Trulia’s approach to Geodata and how we use it to derive economic meaning, and ultimately, value for users from this data that isn’t available from traditional sources. We’ll also discuss how to integrate user contributed and Trulia accumulated data to identify emerging trends and patterns before this data is available from traditional sources.
