System and method for representation of business information

摘要

A system and method generates a map representation of information from a BI (business intelligence) application. The BI information is used to generate map data, which in turn is used to generate a map representation. The system and method are arranged to generate the same thematics in a representation as provided by BI application. For example, if the BI information is information on crime in a particular area, the map representation will present the same theme in a spatial frame of reference, using similar metadata (thematic data) to express the theme on the map representation.
