A Visualization-based Approach to Explore Geographic Metadata
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a visualization-based approach to explore large databases of geographic metadata. The aim of the data exploration is to search and acquire expressive geographic data to create a geographic information system. Metadata repositories which provide information about available geographic data exist on the web and are usually queried to perform data acquisition task. We propose a visualization–based tool to assist the user in this metadata exploration. The approach is characterized by the integration of multi visualization techniques, interaction methods and data mining concepts. The use of multi visualization techniques and a dynamic interaction with them allow to discover new information among data and assists the user in his reasoning.

Data Visualization and Retrieval based Convenience Store Location Model of Fresh Products
Convenience store location is always the primary factor, which is also an important factor. Suitable location can not only determine the number of store customers, but also determine the level of sales, which is the key to the success or failure of store operations. In order to set up the location of the commercial convenience store, we first discuss the importance of the convenience store loca...
متن کاملMetadata visualization and browse graphics
Metadata that describe characteristics of geographic datasets are used for discovering potential datasets and evaluating their suitability for intended purposes (Guptil 1999, Taylor 2004). Discovery is based on search functions relying on metadata about thematic, spatial, and temporal extents of datasets (Beard and Sharma, 1997) and well developed in directories, clearing houses, and digital li...
متن کاملConcept Testing of Some Visualization Methods for Geographic Metadata
Concepts of metadata visualization have been developed in order to help users in understanding of metadata about geographic datasets. These concepts apply graphic samples and four multivariate visualization methods: scatter plot matrix, parallel coordinates plot, star plots and Chernoff faces. The concepts were tested with users of geographic metadata in the Finnish Defence Forces. The test res...
متن کاملA new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...

In this paper, we present a prototype system, an integrated data management system, which is capable of querying, retrieving, and visualizing datasets with heterogeneous formats and large sizes without requiring users to have any knowledge of any other specific software. Our system has three distinguished characteristics: (1) modular structure and simple architecture which make it easy and feas...
