Abstract
We propose a service oriented distributed system framework for animating big spatiotemporal vector datasets. The aim is exploiting the patterns in spatial data dynamically changing over time. Animation consists of successively played and temporally related still map images. Each map image in the animation is a satellite map enriched with (or plotted over) spatiotemporal datasets. The system components are designed as web services. We also extend open standards’ GIS web services definitions with topic-based publish-subscribe paradigm, which best suits to the animation requirements.
