Definition

Many existing and emergent applications collect data containing geographic location. A large amount of such information from diverse sources is usually involved in investigative tasks (e. g., anti‐terrorist intelligence analysis and business intelligence). Geographic information plays an important role in connecting scattered information in investigations. However, investigative tasks are highly dynamic processes where information changes can not be predicted. Therefore, traditional static geographic information presentation approaches are not sufficient for coherently presenting unanticipated information. To address this challenge, dynamic presentation approaches are proposed. Based on investigation contexts, the dynamic approaches use various metrics to dynamically measure the desirability of the information, the corresponding visualization and the visual...
