The paper presents a prototype application – Spatial Visualization Tool (SVT), that can be used to visualize data from different kinds of Business Information Systems and external sources such as the Internet and document bases in the form of an interactive map. The concept of the paper is based on the assumption that all business data can be visualized in a way analogous to geographic maps. The manner of such a visualization can be very legible and facilitate business decision-making when it comes to analyzing large amounts of data. The first part of the paper introduces the reader toselected aspects of Geographic Information Systems methodology and briefly presents the algorithm of SVT. The second part explains the theoretical algorithm of acquiring data and performing a spatial visualization. The last section of the paper covers the practical example of SVT application to select candidates for a job. The prototype tool was constructed using Microsoft Excel with Visual Basic for Applications. We also present the idea to extend the functionality of SVT using semantic Web technologies for recognizing data sources and types to facilitate the automation of data visualization.
The concepts of open innovation and prosumption have been known for many years before the beginning of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 era. Nowadays the Web technology evolution provides a fertile ground for cooperation and knowledge transfer between heterogeneous groups of consumers, producers and scientists from all over the world. The today platforms of open innovation gather hundreds of thousands of users. Therefore understanding and managing the breadth, depth and complexity of information resources they create becomes a challenge. The paper introduces the possibilities of exploiting the semantic technology in the portals of open innovations to better manage the large amount of content and the users interactions. The semantic solutions support the information retrieval functions, finding the potentially best problem solvers among community users and targeting the information transfer according to user’s preferences and activities.
