Abstract

Federal government agencies generate, summarize, and disseminate a large and growing volume of statistical data that can be linked through common geospatial referencing. The potential of this data is often unrealized because agencies and their data users lack usable and useful data analysis tools that support multivariate geospatial data exploration and processing.
