Beautiful Vectors: Emerging Geospatial technologies in the browser

Beautiful, useful and scalable techniques for analysing and displaying spatial information are key to unlocking important trends in geospatial and geotemporal data. Recent developments in HTML 5 enable rendering of complex visualisations within the browser, facilitating fast, dynamic user interfaces built around web maps. Client-side visualization allows developers to forgo expensive server-side tasks to render visualisations. These new interfaces have enabled a new class of application, empowering any user to explore large, enterprise-scale spatial data without requiring specialised geographic information technology software. This session will examine existing enterprise-scale, server-side visualization technologies and demonstrate how cutting edge technologies can supplement and replace them while enable additional capabilities.
