Spatiotemporal Mashups: A Survey of Current Tools to Inform Next Generation Crisis Support
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have adjusted the opportunities for spatial and temporal representations of data, possibly permitting the simultaneous visualization of how different regions and populations are affected during large-scale emergencies and crises. We surveyed 13 crisis-related mashups to derive some high-level design directions to guide the design and testing of next generation crisis support tools. The current web mashups offer a new way of looking at how crises are spatiotemporally ordered. However, since all technology is constrained by limitations of design choice, examining the limits and possibilities of what current design choices afford can inform attributes of what next generation crisis support tools would require.

متن کاملAn Overview of Current Approaches to Mashup Generation
Mashups allow users to bring together data and services from various web applications in order to create a new integrated tool that serves their needs. In the last few years, a variety of mashups frameworks has been proposed that promise to simplify the mashup creation process so that every user is able to create mashups. In this paper, we give an overview about these approaches and identify th...
