A data management platform server that organizes and transforms data in a 3-tier data structure. The server comprises an application stored in a memory that transforms data into profiles. The application stores the profiles to a profile data store. The application selects a first profile subset from the profiles based on a first criterion. The application selects a second profile subset form the profiles based on a second criterion, where at least some of the profiles in the first profile subset are not in the second profile subset and wherein at least some of the profiles in the second profile subset are not in the first profile subset. The application stores the first profile subset and the second profile subset to a profile data store. The application receives a request from an ad gateway for the first profile subset and transmits the first profile subset to the ad gateway.

Three tier data structures for targeting data

A data distribution computer system. The system comprises a data store, a non-transitory memory, a processor, and a data propagation application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application initiates execution of a plurality of data propagation agents in a restricted runtime environment and provides information to the agents identifying data that is available in the data store via a discovery application programming interface (API). The application further provides data from the data store to the agents via a data access API, where the data propagation application manages the scheduling of the agents and restricts the data in the data store that is propagated to the agents based on an access policy for each agent.

A method of adapting determination of location of mobile communication devices. The method comprises receiving and storing the time and self-location of an emergency (e911) call message from a mobile communication device. The method then retrieves the time and self-location information and the trilateration data associated with the mobile communication device that originated the e911 call message. An estimated position is then calculated from the trilateration data by using a trilateration position estimating model. An error is determined between the self-location and the estimated position of the mobile communication device, whereby the self-location is deemed authoritative. The trilateration position estimating model is adapted based on the error determined and then used to determine the position of a second mobile communication device.
