GlobeOLAP - Improving the Geospatial Realism in Multidimensional Analysis Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The combination of Geographic Data Warehouses (GDW) and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) provide efficient browsing and storing of very large spatio-temporal databases. However, some advanced techniques of geovisualization are not well supported in many of these tools. Three-dimensional Thematic Mapping through Virtual Globes is one of them, and it can provide a friendly but powerful mechanism for summarize visually huge amounts of geospatial-analytical data and their changes over time. This paper shows the GlobeOLAP, a prototype of a Web-based SOLAP tool that allows the customized generation of many types of Thematic Maps to be visualized three-dimensionally in a Virtual Globe (Google Earth), together with the traditional tabular view. This tool can improve management decisions by allowing managers to identify patterns and build knowledge in a spatial realistic environment.

متن کاملA Conceptual Framework to Support Semantic Interoperability of Geospatial Datacubes
Today, we observe a wide use of geospatial databases that are implemented in many forms (e.g. transactional centralized systems, distributed databases, multidimensional datacubes). Among those possibilities, the multidimensional datacube is more appropriate to support interactive analysis and to guide the organization’s strategic decisions, especially when different epochs and levels of informa...
متن کاملAssessment of Terrain and Land Use/Land Cover Changes of Mine Sites using Geospatial Techniques in Plateau State, Nigeria
In this paper, we report a geospatial assessment of the selected mine sites in the Plateau State, Nigeria. The aim of this work is to determine the impact of mining on the terrain as well as the Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) of the host communities. The Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) is used for the terrain mapping. The derived impact of mining on LULC between 1975 and 2014 is determined...

Because of the limited capacity of coastal lands and conflicting interests among stakeholders for coastal resources, there are intensifying pressures to retain and provide more public access to the coast. Coastal gated communities have been developed increasingly in the middle shoreline of Caspian Sea in North of Iran. They are kind of exclusive space production as they restrict public access t...
