1. A geospatial media recorder, comprising:
- converting means for converting longitude and latitude geographic degree, minutes, and seconds (DMS) coordinate alphanumeric representations or decimal equivalent geographic coordinate alphanumeric representations and altitude alphanumeric representations into individual discrete all-natural number geographic coordinate and measurement representations; and
combining means for concatenating the individual discrete all-natural number geographic coordinate and measurement representations into a single discrete all-natural number geospatial coordinate measurement representation for identification of a geospatial positional location at, below, or above earth'"'"'s surface allowing user to geospatially reference entities or objects based on the identified geospatial positional location and point identification.

Abstract
An integrated information processing system for geospatial information processing. The information processing system includes a scheduling module, an acquisition module, a production module, a distribution module, a geospatial data specification, and a geospatial media recorder. Each module incorporates a common object database management system. The scheduling module is configured for processing requests for media acquisition. The acquisition module is configured for acquiring visual, audio, textual, and geospatial entity information. The production module is configured for producing integrated digital media datasets and information. The distribution module is configured for distributing integrated digital media datasets and information. The geospatial data specification includes an object class which serves to provide geospatial referencing of an entity or object. The concatenated data attribute of geospatial data serves to geospatially reference entities or object in a video segment. The geospatial media recorder serves to encode geospatial data onto video frames at the time of video acquisition.
