GeoViz: WebCentric GeoSpatial Collaboration™
Plug-in Modules
GeoSpatial Collaboration Service
This service enables users to share geospatial displays instantly, with a click of the mouse. All participants in the Communities of Interest (COI) instantly see the same geospatial view. Users can annotate the display using familiar drawing tools to insert arrows, boxes, spheres, polygons and lines, and to color and shade them as well. Additionally, users can drag and drop documents, imagery, video and audio files that are shared with each participant in the collaborative session. The WebCentric GeoSpatial Collaboration service is augmented with Commercial Off-The-Shelf Instant Messaging and Voice-over-Internet Protocol services.
Record and Play Back — This “train-as-you-fight” module has a user-friendly, intuitive interface that enables users to record a collaborative session and then replay it for instant rehearsal and after-action review. User selection of a particular calendar date (year, month, day) will recall the stored collaborative session and present it in a graphical timeline interface. The timeline control enables run, pause, fast forward, and reverse functions, and enables users to view bookmarks and search critical events and tracks.
Commander Station — This module implements a command and control room paradigm that enables a commander to instantly see thumbnail views of all participants using the tool suite. By clicking the thumbnail, the commander can join a collaborative online session to share actionable knowledge. Options include observing participants by COI (project level), client name (who) or operational subject matter (what). The module provides time history summations for course-of-action review.
Data Source Framework — The Data Source Framework and libraries provide common functionality to allow efficient creation of custom data publishers. Examples include: Track Generators, Instruments, Sensors etc. The Data Source can be run on any computer that supports the JAVA runtime environment that is connected to a GeoViz Server via an HTTP network
The entire GeoViz user interface is accessable via a Web browser. Web services technologies are fully integrated in an Service-Oriented Architecture to make data visible, accessible, understandable, trusted, interoperable and responsive.
