Determining points of interest using intelligent agents and semantic data

A system implemented in hardware, comprising:

• a media agent configured to receive media data comprising location data of where media was captured;
• a center agent configured to:
• determine a center of a cluster of the media, comprising:
• plotting the media as data points on a map using the location data;
• determine whether a number of the data points in a defined array on the map is greater than a predetermined number;
• and
• determine a center of the number of the data points as the center of the cluster of the media data when the number is greater than the predetermined number, wherein the determining the center of the number of data points comprises weighting or deteriorating each data point of the media with a weight “d” by multiplying the location data of the media by “d”, and calculating the center of the cluster of the media using the weighted location data determined for each media;
• and
• an arbiter module configured to:
• receive the media data from the media agent;
• receive the center of the cluster of the media from the center agent;
