When Are Map Views Useful?

• Visualizing data related to geographic locations.

• Showing or detecting spatial relationships and

patterns.

• Showing lots of data in a relatively small area.

• Drilling down from a (map) overview to a detailed

report, chart, or graph.

• When is location important? Can the dimension be

plotted on a map?

Map Interactivity in OBIEE 11g

• Display BI data on top of maps

• Color fill

• FOI (feature of interest) point display

• Interact with other Dashboard Elements

• Drive map content with dashboard prompts

• Drive map content through drilling and navigation

• Drive other dashboard elements through map interactions

• Reveal information on maps through mouseovers

• Drill to map detail

Oracle MapViewer

• Component of Oracle Fusion Middleware

• Runs in WebLogic and other J2EE environments.

• Developer’s visualization “toolkit” of programmable

Java components and APIs for rendering maps and

• Used for embedding maps in web-based applications

and rendering location-based content.

• Connects to geospatial application data tables.

• Map Builder is the java application for editing metadata

in an Oracle Database (themes, styles, base maps).

Map Definitions

• STYLE

• Define rendering properties for spatial shape or point on maps.

• Can control fill color, border color, line thickness, line style and more

• THEME

• Typically associated with a spatial geometry layer

• Metadata that specifies geospatial data to be rendered, styles to be applied, and optional query conditions for filtering.

• County/state boundaries, major highways, etc…

• BASEMAP

• A grouping of predefined themes to create a map

• Maps can share themes

• When associating a theme with a map, can specify min scale and max scale (sometimes known as zoom control)

• MAP • Basemap with additional themes overlain

Using Spatial Data in OBIEE 11g

• Possible use cases

1. Load customers map data, usually

provided as Shape File(s)

2. Configure MapViewer theme(s)

3. Configure theme for Map View

4. Proceed as above

Coordinates (i.e., longitude/latitude)

How does

customer data

reference location?

Postal address

Standard off-the-shelf geography

(i.e., state, county, zip)

Customer-specific map layers

(i.e., reporting regions, facilities)

Include coordinates in presentation

layer and use “Custom Point Layer”

Map Layout specifying longitude as

X, latitude as Y

Perform address geocoding

preprocess to derive/store

coordinates from addresses and

then proceed as above

1. Ensure unique key in presentation

table matches key in map data.

2. Configure presentation table for

mapping using

Administration>Manage Map Data

Map View Formats

• Color Fill (choropleth)

• Percentile, Value,

Continuous binning

• Dashboard user run-time

slider

• Graphs – Bar, Pie

• Adjustable graph size

• Series by second dimension

• Bubble (variable sized)

• Min-Max size specification

• Color specification

• Variable Shape

• Circle, Triangle, Diamond

• Customizable

• Image

• Imported via MapViewer

• More can be added from

MapBuilder

• Custom Point Layer

• Uses Lat / Long

• Does not require a Layer Def

Nokia Location & Commerce Data

Formerly NAVTEQ

• Nokia is the leading global provider of digital map,

traffic and location data that enables navigation and

location-based platforms around the world.

• Nokia data is licensed direct or through a reseller.

• Licenses are use specific.

• Nokia data resides inside your own Oracle Database.

• Nokia publishes an ODF (Oracle Data Format) version

of its data designed specifically for use in an Oracle

Database instance.

Nokia Content for OBI

• Geocoding

• Points of Interest

Let’s Get Started!

• Add a simple map view to an analysis

• Interact with data through drill paths

• Add bar graphs and other data visualizations to maps

• Add map layers and join keys to BI data

• Use maps as a master to control detail analysis in

dashboard

• Perform geospatial calculations and analyses
