  1. Data Handling and Knowledge Management in REORIENTby Poul Grashoff1. DATA HANDLING TOOLS2. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT3. LIVE DEMO

  2. 1. DATA HANDLING TOOLS:Scope: REORIENT Corridor • Three corridor types: • Main & alternative REORIENT Corridor (Business Corridor is a subset of this) • Competitive (rail / road) corridors • Interoperability Corridor (corridor countries) • Right hand side shows an overview of the corridors

  3. Data collection process SUBCONTRACTORS: Country data collection ONLINE EDIT TOOLS WP1: European public domain data collection WP2 – WP7 Data requests: 1. SHAREPOINT: Country / regional data Data collection requirement list • Rail network data; • Competitive network data; • Railway organisation data; • Rail freight and passenger transport data; • Financial, economic, population data • OD matrices; • Etc. 2. INTERNETTER: Network data • Public domain data sources: • Eurostat; • ETIS-BASE / Transtools; • UIC Railisa / ERIM • etc.

  4. Internetter: online collaborative network editing tool • InterNetter is a web based software tool that allows for viewing and editing of network related data • It is used in the WP1 network data collection task • Generic tool for editing any kind of traffic network • The same software is currently in use by the community of the Dutch bicylist union to maintain and update the Bicycle Route Planners • Client-server architecture

  5. Internetter key features • Central database to ensure consistent network topology • Web-based system allows distributed editing • Regular exports to GIS format ensure availability of up to date network data for modelling • No special software is needed to edit the network (no license fees needed!) • Allows viewing and editing of both the network topology and data:

  6. Example where only corridor links are visible and show electrification system

  7. Example of viewing / editing of the attributes of a single node (Station of Platanos, Greece)

  8. 2. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENTWhat is the REORIENT Knowledge Base? • The proposal for REORIENT saw it as a means of capturing the outputs from the project • The full concept as it has developed now includes: • Data collection and handling tools • Document management & metadata management • Data publishing and presentation • Thematic mapping • Communications (teleconferencing) • This KB is a live and interactive system on the Internet

  9. REORIENT Knowledge Base (RKB) key points RKB provides support for / includes: • A project team distributed across the world • A clear layered security framework • Provision for data as well as documents (on a very large scale) • Provision for metadata and its effective use when available • Multiple versions of documents • Different types and multiple versions of data • Extensive graphical interfaces and thematic map displays • Effective means of searching, exploring and exporting information from anywhere on the web • Team communications • Specialised third party tools

  10. What are the options in the RKB? • People • Communications • Documents • Data & maps

  11. People – Access levels • The Public Level (lowest) has little to show • Registration (available to all) shows access to public documents from the Commission and other sources • Progressively higher levels are used for subcontractors, partners, and the Workpackage Leaders Council • Each level is signified by the colour of the band across the top of the page

  12. Communications – Marratech video conferencing • Provides secured communications for video, audio, chat and a common whiteboard • People can be brought on their telephones in via a VOIP gateway • The common Whiteboard can be used to share an application on a user’s machine (eg. Word, browser, PowerPoint etc.) • Audio, video, and chat records can be recorded and played back later • Private side conversations can be carried out discreetly

  13. Documents – Structure • All documents are stored in TeraText (no real ‘Folders’)

  14. Documents – Metadata elements (Dublin core) • But basic items are often not completed (country codes etc)

  15. Documents – Results of Simple Search

  16. Data & Maps • Nesstar is built in with access via this website menu • The KB uses both the Nesstar geoserver and the Demis mapserver • Several key EC datasets are directly accessible • A full index of thematic maps is also accessible • This strategy underpins our aim to provide both archiving and access, and to include multiple forms and releases of results and data in forms suitable for different purposes

  17. Data & maps - Nesstar • Nesstar is a data publishing system: • Originally to link the Social Data Archives of Europe as a single federated database without consolidating them all at one site • Databases can reside in different locations and accessed as one • Web access framework, with a sound security structure • Can exploit metadata to ensure reliable linkages • Can hold Data Cubes • Simple tabulation, regressions, etc. possible • Slicing and dicing datasets • Nesstar can generate thematic maps from tables • Can export to Acrobat and other formats • In REORIENT, Nesstar is complemented by the Demis mapserver, to secure both of their different capabilities.

  18. Data & maps – Nesstar interface • GIS Dataset is data collected using MS Sharepoint • Test is an SPSS direct import of a Reorient survey • ETIS is the ETIS-BASE year 2000 data set • NONE of these are yet released for public access or use

  19. Data & maps – Data cube slice display • Each entry in this datacube display has a scroll bar

  20. Data & maps – A graphics slice selection • This is a Time Series slice display (data from the NSD datacube delivered to REORIENT by Herry: a subcontractor)

  21. Data & maps - Nesstar geoserver link

  22. Data & maps - The Demis map server can be accessed via the Thematic maps links

  23. Future of the knowledge base tools • the RKB was designed to support ongoing projects as well as cumulative knowledge, an is not tied to the REORIENT project only • The capacity of the RKB as a whole is considerably larger than the requirements of Reorient: a wide range of other railway areas and projects could be encompassed • A service product range is being designed, both to maintain the access to the KB and its expanded coverage - and also to tailored projects • Active collaboration with -for example- emerging FW7 networks and projects in rail (and transport) is now welcomed by the KB team.
