A FRAMEWORK FOR SPATIAL DATA VISUALIZATION: SRI LANKA GLOBE (S-GLOBE)

摘要

Data visualization is a spectacular technique in the modern business world. Spatially Enabling Information ~ location intelligence - is empowering business efficiency in many ways. Sri Lanka Globe (S-Globe) must have the ability to present all of our geographical data on every possible topic imaginable from a traditional mapping of topographic data, contours, addresses, and properties. This is to be achieved through the thematic categories such as farming, environment, transportation plan, health, and education. As such, we should use a visualization tool with a capable platform that is independent and free because the implementation is aimed at businesses, communities, and the government. In this research, an investigation is conducted on open data and open source approaches up to the final development for the Sri Lankan spatially enabled society. Finally, the research found that Google Earth is the most reliable tool for this development through WebGL and HTML5. The framework to the report is based on six open data principles, which are open by default, protected, prioritised, discoverable, and usable where required. It is also primary and timely, well-managed, trusted, and authoritative as well as free where appropriate, and subject to public input.
