GIS Dashboards for an Operations Monitoring Center

Mapping tools, enterprise GIS and executive dashboard technologies and practices are combining in an exciting way to create feature-rich, yet intuitive interfaces for the presentation of business intelligence.  Here is a really good article on one company’s (Thetus Corporation) approach: Geospatial Knowledge Modeling - Connecting Discoveries, Locations and Predictive Models.

The real value of the article is the presentation of a solid knowledge discovery, abstraction and presentation framework. Here are  images of various models that I grabbed from their site:

The Semantic Knowledge Models

The Knowledge Modeling Process:

And their Knowledge Portal:

To give you a flavor of the article, here are the elements/steps presented in the construction of the Thetus geospatial-enabled executive dashboard:

  • Elements of Knowledge Modeling
  • Finding Key Relationships
  • Collection
  • Assembly
  • Delivery
  • Fusion
  • Discovery
  • Annotation
  • Enhancement
  • Modeling
  • Hypothesizing
  • Publishing

And now, finally, here is a look at their example executive dashboard. It is a GIS Dashboard for an operations monitoring center. This particular example is for use by an oil drilling company. It combines mapping technology and enterprise dashboard best practices to provide a slick dashboard example well worth studying. Note the “newer” bells and whistles such as the corresponding pictures available for each asset being monitored.
