1. A system to electronically distribute geospatial information via a Web platform, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one nontransitory processor-readable medium communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and which stores at least one of processor-executable instructions or data, the processor-executable instructions or data, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
search online data sources to identify potential events of interest;
identify, in association with each of the identified potential events of interest, a metadata;
categorize, based on the metadata the identified potential events of interest, into a first category of events comprising potential events of interest that occurred in the past and a second category of events comprising potential events of interest that is expected to occur in the future;
associate geospatial data matching conditions of the metadata for the potential events of interest in the first category of events with the metadata;
create an acquisition request to capture new geospatial data matching conditions of the metadata for the potential events of interest in the second category of events;
cause a Web interface to be provided to a requester, the Web interface including user input elements which allow the requester to submit a request for geospatial information;
receive the request for geospatial information from the requester via the Web interface, the request comprising information that specifies the requested geospatial information via at least one location specification criteria and via at least one non-location specification criteria;
retrieve one or more sets of the geospatial data and the associated metadata which satisfy the request for geospatial information; and
cause the requested geospatial information to be provided to the requester in a form of the retrieved one or more sets of data.
