• receiving geolocation information of each person having uttered one or more of the natural language expressions and associating the geolocation information of each person with a corresponding natural language expression of the plurality of natural language expressions, the geolocation information of each person indicating the geolocation of that person;
• for each natural language expression, of the plurality of natural language expressions:
• parsing the natural language expression to create an interpretation;
• deriving, from the interpretation, one or more concepts;
• and

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having computer code that, when executed by at least one computer processor, causes the at least one computer processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a natural language expression from a person;
• receiving geolocation information including a geolocation of the person when the person uttered the natural language expression;
• parsing the natural language expression to create an interpretation;
• and
• creating, in a database, a record based on the interpretation and the geolocation.
