Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for normalizing ingested signals. In general, signal ingestion modules ingest different types of raw structured and/or raw unstructured signals on an ongoing basis. The signal ingestion modules normalize raw signals into normalized signals having a Time, Location, Context (or “TLC”) dimensions. A Time (T) dimension can be a time of origin or alternatively “event time” of a signal. A Location (L) dimension can be anywhere across a geographic area, such as, a country (e.g., the United States), a State, a defined area, an impacted area, an area defined by a geo cell, an address, etc. A Context (C) dimension indicates circumstances surrounding formation/origination of a raw signal in terms that facilitate understanding and assessment of the raw signal. The Context (C) dimension of a raw signal can be derived from express as well as inferred signal features of the raw signal.
