INFORMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING ANALYSES BASED ON OBJECT-CENTRIC LONGITUDINAL DATA

摘要

A computerized information system and method using object-centric virtual database(s) and analyses suited to aviation transportation safety applicatio ns (in which case aircraft may be the object class, and the individual object i s an individual aircraft). A database comprises at least one set of data records, each data record pertaining to an event for an individual object an d comprising a plurality of data fields, at least one of the data fields comprising an identifier identifying one individual object. A user interface component receives user-selected criteria for field values of the data field s. A selection component selects data records which correspond to the user- selected criteria. An analysis component identifies the selected data record s according to a chronological sequence of events for individual objects cover ed by the selected data records. Each individual object covered by the selected data records is associated with a longitudinal set of data records and deriv es output data for the events from the longitudinal sets of data records.
