Spatial and temporal graphical display of verified/validated data organized as complex events

摘要

Complex events for an entity are gathered, each including an event, the event's location, and the date of the event. A map encompassing the locations of the complex events is displayed. The location of each complex event is denoted on the map, such as by an icon corresponding to the complex event type, in a color corresponding to whether the complex event was validated. For each successive pair of complex events, including a first and a second complex event, a line is drawn on the map between their locations. Timelines graphically denoting the complex events in order of their dates may be displayed, including one corresponding to those complex events that have been validated, and others that each correspond to those complex events that come from the same source. A list of the complex events may be displayed, organized in accordance with the types of the complex events.
