News-triggered public data atlas
Exact article spans resolve against a versioned public gazetteer before bounded public-data enrichment runs. The current public store contains 275 resolved places and 2617 of 8565 mentions matched to their own coordinates; unresolved names are not moved to a capital.
Heat counts distinct ingested news-event clusters. Grey means no ingested observation, not that nothing exists. A zero is a measured zero. Semantic place confidence is an unvalidated rubric, not a probability.

Data behind the map
Energy infrastructure maps (U.S. Energy Information Administration): 0 public rows. This source is registered, but its event-triggered layers are not yet present in the public atlas database. No record must not be read as no infrastructure. Awaiting event-triggered intake. Primary dataset source
News-resolved places (Natural Earth 10m) (Natural Earth): 275 public rows. Only places resolved from ingested news appear in this table. The bounded gazetteer can omit smaller settlements; absence is not evidence that a place does not exist. Last ingested . Primary dataset source · Download the ingested table
News place activity (Lightcap): 8565 public rows. Distinct ingested news-event clusters, not all events in the world. Missing is shown as no ingested observation. Last ingested . Primary dataset source · Download the ingested table
World Port Index (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency): 0 public rows. Public port characteristics. This source is registered for event-triggered ingestion but is not yet present in the public atlas database. Awaiting event-triggered intake. Primary dataset source
Public ports & major pipelines (OpenStreetMap contributors): 8286 public rows. A bounded 80 km event-triggered query for mapped ports and major oil/gas pipelines. OpenStreetMap is contributor-maintained and incomplete; no record is not evidence of no infrastructure. Last ingested . Primary dataset source · Download the ingested table
Mineral Resources Data System (U.S. Geological Survey): 14310 public rows. Worldwide coverage is incomplete and historical development-status fields may be stale. Geological occurrence records are not reserve estimates. Last ingested . Primary dataset source · Download the ingested table
