Enterprise Products
MetaCarta Geographic Text Search (GTS)
MetaCarta GTS is the company’s flagship product - a comprehensive geographic text search solution that enables users to rapidly locate high relevance documents by combining text search with maps. The enterprise version of MetaCarta GTS is delivered as an Appliance.
MetaCarta GeoTagger
GeoTagger is a production-level geographic entity resolver that parses documents, extracts geographic references within the content, and resolves the geographic meaning intended by the author. This allows the system to assign latitude and longitude coordinates and country code tags in an XML output, which may be used as metadata and for processing by third-party systems. Just as human readers assess the likelihood that the author intended a particular meaning, the GeoTagger generates a confidence score for every identified location. The confidence score is a number between zero and one that is the probability that the author intended the geographic meaning represented by the coordinates. The enterprise version of MetaCarta GeoTagger is delivered as an Appliance.
MetaCarta GTS geOdrive: GTS for the energy industry
For the energy industry, we created GTS geOdrive, a bundle comprised of MetaCarta Geographic Text Search with an energy-specific GDM to offer our clients a complete and robust package to meet their needs in that industry. GTS geOdrive is exclusively available through Schlumberger. The enterprise version of MetaCarta GTS geOdrive is delivered as an Appliance.
OnDemand Hosted Services
MetaCarta GeoTagger OnDemand
Hosted by MetaCarta, the GeoTagger OnDemand service identifies the places and points-of-interest mentioned in text documents, web pages and blogs, and relates them to their appropriate latitude and longitude coordinates. This enables documents to be automatically displayed on maps, retrieved through a variety of search agents, or dynamically displayed with other geographically relevant content. GeoTagger OnDemand is a cost-effective fully hosted solution that is ideal for digital publishers who want to geographically display or localize content without having to make a big upfront investment. Hyper-localized content draws users back to the publisher’s site for repeat visits, substantially increasing user frequency and page views metrics, enabling publishers to better capture advertising dollars and maximize advertising rates.
MetaCarta GeoSearch News
MetaCarta GeoSearch News presents a 30-day moving window of news, delivered in a map-based interface. GeoSearch News indexes an extensive collection of more than 1,400 national, international and local news sources every hour in addition to direct feeds from the Associated Press and Reuters. GeoSearch News provides users a single site on which they can learn what is happening now at any destination in the world. GeoSearch News acquires roughly 1,000 fresh news stories from around the globe per hour.
MetaCarta Local Alerts
Hosted by MetaCarta, the Local Alerts service is the publishing industry's first solution that notifies users when free-form text content mentions specific places they deem important. Local Alerts is a personalized, registration-based service that delivers users up-to-date news about the regions, towns, and neighborhoods in which they live, work or go to school.
MetaCarta NewsMap
Hosted by MetaCarta, the NewsMap service is a hosted service that lets publishers dynamically display maps that show the places mentioned in their news stories. NewsMap can be used to display all of a day's news or stories from one or more categories of stories. A MetaCarta NewsMap is a great way to present users with a view of where the news is happening.
