Conference Paper
Abstract:
The computerization of many government data and the advances in location-based data collection technologies such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) provide a huge and increasing amount of geospatially-referenced. This explosive growth of geospatially-referenced databases has far outpaced the analyst's ability to interpret these data using conventional GIS, creating an urgent need for geospatial analysis techniques to be incorporated into GIS.
In view of this problem, we present you RIGAP, a rich internet implementation of geospatial analytics platform by integrating Leaflet Mapping API and D3.js with a collection open sources geospatial analysis libraries from R. We will discuss the technical approach used to design RIGAP and its software integration. Using a real world data, we will then demonstrate the geospatial visual analytics and modeling capabilities of RIGAP. The presentation concludes by sharing our future development direction and features enhancement of RIGAP.
