Abstract
A computer-implemented system, method, or computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for execution on a processor may edit and confirm data associated with geographic locations shared by models graphically representing physical objects corresponding to geographic locations displayed in a web-enabled mapping system. This may allow a user to edit or create a graphic component corresponding to a model and receive an edited or created model at the mapping system. The user may also change or supplement graphical and non-graphical data corresponding to the model's location in response to receiving the edited or created model at the mapping system, and determine if the user changed or supplemented the non-graphical data associated with the model. This changed data may also be reviewed against rules to determine if it should be associated with the model that is displayed in the mapping system.
