Abstract

Location-based data visualization employing geographical information system and information visualization provides an advanced means to assist with visual data exploration, hypothesis formation and decision making. An effective location-based data visualization system can significantly enhance the communication among decision-makers and facilitate the agreement on the most appropriate alternatives. This study presents SmartGIS, a tool integrating SVG, Web GIS, and data visualization techniques to augment the analytical capabilities of GIS-based spatial and temporal decision-making process. It provides an intuitive, interactive manipulation of SVG-based SARS map, dynamically generated from GIS database. SmartGIS provides hierarchical operations to allow a user to view SARS data at multiple levels of details on the Web. This facilitates the continuously visualizing and monitoring of SARS outbreak status. The implementation issues of SmartGIS are described and its applications to other areas are discussed.

SmartGIS:基于svg的工具，用于可视化和监测SARS运动

基于位置的数据可视化利用地理信息系统和信息可视化技术，为可视化数据探索、假设形成和决策提供了一种先进的辅助手段。一个有效的基于位置的数据可视化系统可以显著增强决策者之间的沟通，并促进在最合适的替代方案上达成一致。本研究提出了一种集成SVG、Web GIS和数据可视化技术的工具SmartGIS，以增强基于GIS的时空决策过程的分析能力。它提供了一个直观的、交互式的操作基于svg的SARS地图，从GIS数据库动态生成。SmartGIS提供分层操作，允许用户在Web上查看多个详细级别的SARS数据。这有助于持续可视化和监测SARS爆发状况。介绍了SmartGIS的实现问题，并讨论了其在其他领域的应用。
