Abstract
The invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for deriving signal location information. A raw signal is ingested and normalized, including deriving a partially normalized signal. The partially normalized signal can be a signal including a Time, a Context and possibly a non-dispositive location hint. A list of one or more geo cells where the raw signal potentially originated is accessed. In one aspect, the one or more geo cells are accessed based on the non-dispositive location hint. A location annotation identifying a geo cell from among the one or more geo cells is formulated. The partially normalized signal can be annotated with the location annotation. A location in a two dimensional space is determined from the location annotation. The location is inserted into the partially normalized signal forming a fully normalized signal. The fully normalized signal can include a Time, a Location, and a Context.
