Geographic Information System (GIS)
Extraction Technology

The GIS GeoMend© address extraction technology was developed by Metamend Software and Design Ltd., of Victoria, BC, Canada.

An intelligent search tool that can extract the relevant address block from a web site, decompose it into the individual address components (i.e. street, avenue, province, country, etc.) then produce and code the "GeoMended" coordinates directly into the web site, for access by the Internet's top search engines.

The technology is capable of analyzing a web document, a collection of documents or an entire web site and extracting all physical address-related information while producing a list of possible relevant addresses. Moreover it has the ability to "decide" which of the addresses returned is the most relevant, based on the contextual content of the web site from which it was extracted.

Metamend's proven keyword extraction technology provides the relevant subject data for the "decision" process. Metamend's proprietary tagging system is utilized to automatically insert and code the generated GIS data into a web page's source code for use by geo-locational search interfaces and Internet search engines, indices, and searchable databases and directories.
