Spatial Data Management System and Method
A spatial data management system including a spatial database maintained in computer memory, the spatial database including one or more position data sets, the position data sets including respective objective identifiers, geographical data and date/time data. The system also includes an analysis engine configured to retrieve one or more position data sets from the spatial database and to generate display data at least partly from the retrieved position data sets. The system further includes a layout manager configured to receive the display data from the analysis engine and to display to a user a graphical spatial representation of the display data which allows relevant analysis of past performance and/or projections for future performance based on changes to spatial layouts.
1 . A spatial data management system comprising:
a spatial database maintained in computer memory, said spatial database including one or more position data sets, said position data set(s) including respective object identifiers, geographical data and date/time data;
an analysis engine configured to retrieve one or more said position data sets from said spatial database and to generate display data at least partly from the retrieved position data set(s); and
a layout manager configured to receive said display data from said analysis engine and to display to a user a graphical spatial representation of said display data.
2 . A spatial data management method comprising:
maintaining in computer memory, a spatial database including one or more position data sets, said position data set(s) including respective object identifiers, geographical data and date/time data;
configuring an analysis engine to retrieve one or more said position data sets from said spatial database and to generate display data at least partly from the retrieved position data set(s); and
configuring a layout manager to receive said display data from said analysis engine and to display to a user a graphical spatial representation of said display data.
3 . A spatial data management computer program embodied on a computer readable medium comprising:
a spatial database maintained in computer memory, said spatial database including one or more position data sets, said position data set(s) including respective object identifiers, geographical data and date/time data;
an analysis engine configured to retrieve one or more said position data sets from said spatial database and to generate display data at least partly from the retrieved position data set(s); and
a layout manager configured to receive said display data from said analysis engine and to display to a user a graphical spatial representation of said display data.
