  1. Ad hoc data integrationfor mobile GIS applications Ramya Venkateswaran (ramya@geo.uzh.ch) -1-

  2. Contents • Introduction: Overview of the GenW2 project • Motivation: Why is Ad hoc Data Integration needed? • Research Questions: Discuss 4 research questions • Next Steps:Data Enrichment, POI Mapping -2-

  3. Overview of the GenW2 Project • Short for: Generalization for portrayal in Web and Wireless mapping • Develop new methods for web and wireless mapping • Focus on ad hoc integration of heterogeneous information and on-the-fly map generalization in a mobile context. -3-

  4. The GenW2 Framework

  5. The GenW2 Framework

  6. Motivation • So many data sources and so little structure • Web as a database – Too much information to ignore! • Ad hoc integration – Need based according to scenario and flavour, unlike search engines. • Importance of recording certain facts that can enrich the MRDB and the integration process. -5-

  7. Research Questions 1 and 2 • RQ1- DI: Methods and Sources • Currently available methods of DI • Different data sources in a web and mobile environment • RQ2 – Flavour Based Integration • Flavour based data integration from various sources • Ad hoc DI vs. Normal DI • Tour guide – An example of pure web data integration -6-

  8. The GenW2 Framework

  9. Flavour Based Integration • Flavour Based Integration with web as datasource • Only web as the database • Integration of data on • Tourism • Transport • User feedback • User Rating • Facebook profile • Dopplr profile • Scheduler

  10. Research Questions 3 and 4 • RQ3 – Facts DB and Data Enrichment • Record valuable reusable information in the Facts DB • How can each POI be enriched with more information? • What kind of information can be recorded and used for later on? • RQ4 – Quality of data • Measurement of Quality? • Quality of data by completeness • Quality of data by correctness • Another metric for Quality Assessment • Quality of data by collective user feedback • Credibility rank of information in FactsDB -9-

  11. Next Steps • Determine what kind of facts can help in enrichment of MRDB. Examples • Map POI with importance (obtained from client side), two levels of importance • Assess the need of also using a geo search engine. Example SPIRIT -10-
