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 232 resolved places and 1962 of 6991 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.
Places in the current public interval
New York, New York, United States of America: 38 distinct ingested event clusters, 40 resolved mentions; last observed .
Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain: 10 distinct ingested event clusters, 14 resolved mentions; last observed .

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): 232 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
