Abstract: In an embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a processor and from a user device associated with a user, a request to access a service associated with a first protocol. The method further includes receiving, by the processor, a virtual credential of the user authorized by an authorizing entity. The virtual credential is compliant with a second protocol different than the first protocol. The method further includes verifying, by the processor, that the virtual credential is authorized by the authorizing entity. The method further includes transforming, by the processor, the virtual credential to generate a transformed virtual credential compliant with the first protocol. The method further includes sending, by the processor, a representation of the transformed virtual credential to the service. The method further includes verifying, by the processor and after the sending, that the transformed virtual credential is valid.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for analyzing location-related data and presenting location-related data and analytics. Embodiments receive raw location data of a subject being tracked, identify stops of the subject being tracked based on the raw location data, correlate the identified stops with know points of interests (POIs), and create a trips file using the raw location data, the identified stops, and the correlated information. Embodiments further extracts and processes data in the trips file, generating processed location-related data and other data, determine an analysis to perform based on the trips file, perform the determined analysis on the processed location-related data and other data to generate one or more results, and forward the results of the analysis to a client to generate a dashboard or other display to be displayed.

Abstract: A method of replicating changes to a dataset includes receiving from a client a request for an operation on the dataset, dynamically selecting from a plurality of replication assurance policies a selected replication assurance policy for the operation, the selected replication assurance policy determining a selected assurance level, wherein the selection is based on at least one of an operation criteria or a connection criteria, submitting, to a first replica of the dataset, a command comprising the operation, and reporting to the client the result of the operation according to the selected assurance level.

Abstract: Embodiments for enabling ownership, trade, and marketplace for named geographic locations are provided. Embodiments provide a marketplace for ownership of named location-specifiers. Each named location-specifier corresponds to a latitude/longitude coordinate of a location. Embodiments provide an ownership registry for the named location-specifiers, provide a registry of named location-specifiers that retrieves data based on a user's request for location data related to the named location-specifiers, provide a location data store that stores current location data corresponding to the named location-specifiers, provide a future location data store that stores updated location data and future location data corresponding to the named location-specifiers, and provide a requesting system that allows the user to request location data corresponding to a named location-specifier or to conduct a search related to one or more of the named location-specifiers.
