ETIS+ knowledge base Data viewing and retrieval Poul Grashoff, Demisbv
What is the ETIS+ KB? • Knowledge base with on-line viewing and editing of transport related information, consisting of: • Transport document repository www.etisplus.eu • Registered users have edit rights & access to the restricted documents • Viewing / editing of OD flow and regional data • Viewing / editing of network node/link data and topology • Bulk download location when data are final Final Workshop ETIS+
Access to the knowledge base • Public (anonymous access) • Public document repository & portal • OD flow and regional data viewer (table / chart / map) • Network node/link attribute data thematic maps & tables • Bulk data download links when data are final • Registered user access (partners) • Restricted document repositories • Editing of table data by check-out/-in • Editing of network data and topology in GIS Final Workshop ETIS+
ETIS+ KB status • Tabular data for 2005 and 2010 have been uploaded and are nowbeingvalidated • Final network data are nowavailable, the on-line viewer/editor ETISNetteris in the proces of beingupdated to the latetst version. • Software for editing/viewingiscomplete e.g. 3 dimensional cube Location Time Parameter Final Workshop ETIS+
ETISPLUS knowledge base design Data Exchange formats External data store MS SQL server based with a multidimensional data model approach for flexibility Check in / out Example of data cubes Header MDB External data store Data dictionary ETIS-PLUS KB Collection Header TXT Bulk data upload Data wiki: Check-in / check-out External data store Extraction Transformation Scrubbing Header XLS External data store Viewing of data External data store Table Map Chart External data store
2. Tabled Data Warehouse • Contains OD flows and regional data tables • Based on a multidimensionaldata model • Visualisation of data as tables / charts / thematic maps • DATA-WIKI: Community of registered users can edit data via the check-out / check-in procedure (just like a source safe) • Metadata is based on Dublin core ++ • History is stored of data and people responsible
Editing table data: check-out-check-in mechanism 1. Check-out (and download) data 2. Edit and save data locally 3. Check-in data
Data Space View 2 View 1 Viewing multi-dimensional (tabled) data Views are orthogonal slices through multidimensional data cubes Spatial and temporal slices through the data are most common
Viewing options for table data • Flat view – listing of table records. • Cube view – data slice in 2 selected dimensions for columns/rows. • Chart view – series and categories for line/bar/column charts • Map view – thematic maps for a single selected geo-dimension Final Workshop ETIS+

Missing data versus zero values Real zero values (white) shown separately from missing values (transparent)
Network viewing and editing • ETIS-NETTER: • Final network node and link data have been received, in process of uploading • Is fully operational and now also used in RETRACK for corridor data editing • Functionality is the same as in the WorldNet editor “WorldNetter” Final Workshop ETIS+

Retrack corridor red/green Final Workshop ETIS+
Network Editing tool • thematic maps example: • Link color used for maximum speed (km/h) • Link width used for Freight Tonnage Count (T)
Retrieval of data • Table data: • Direct in ETIS-VIEW for selections of data (MS Access; MS Excel) • Bulk download site on Data tab (once data is final, MS Access / CSV) • Network data and topology • On bulk download site, updated automatically when necessary as other projects are also using ETIS-NETTER Final Workshop ETIS+
“Bulk data” download site • Full dataset in MS SQL server format (compressed to reduce file size) with HTTP link pointing to FTP site (i.e. anonymous access is allowed) • Upon request (and provision of IP adress) access to the FTP site itself (e.g. in case http download fails due to the file size) Final Workshop ETIS+
