Geo-Twitter Analytics: Applications in Crisis Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a web-enabled geovisual analytics approach to leveraging Twitter in support of crisis management. The approach is implemented in a map-based, interactive web application that enables information foraging and sensemaking using “tweet” indexing and display based on place, time, and concept characteristics. In this paper, we outline the motivation for the research, review selected background briefly, describe the web application we have designed and implemented, and discuss our planned next steps.
