MetaCarta
Geospatial data fusion
Founded by a team of MIT researchers in 1999, MetaCarta provides groundbreaking technology that bridges the gap between Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and text search. The company presents innovative solutions that improve decision-making by making it possible for customers to place documents on a map—automatically.
By using MetaCarta GTS systems, analysts and knowledge workers can rapidly locate documents that provide insight into patterns of activity using street-level granularity. This speed and visibility transforms the workflow of users, as knowledge workers would otherwise manually read through thousands of documents to pinpoint geographic references and find relevant documents.
MetaCarta has offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Vienna, Virginia, and Houston, Texas. In-Q-Tel initially invested in MetaCarta, in August, 2002. For more information about MetaCarta, please visit www.metacarta.com.
