GeoNODE: An End-to-End System from Research Components
Chris Clifton, John Griffith, Rod Holland · 2001
MITRE’s GeoNODE (Geographic News On DEmand) project has used the results of several research efforts to build an end-to-end “live” prototype: a system that addresses all the issues necessary to tie research ideas into a real infrastructure. GeoNODE incorporates concepts, products, and research prototypes from the database, data mining, semistructured data, multimedia, natural language, visualization, and geographic information system communities to build an end-to-end analysis tool for collections of news. We will demonstrate the GeoNODE system, and give an overview of the research components used to create it. We will discuss the lessons learned, particularly issues in infrastructure “awareness” that affect future research projects, and benefits to our research from participating in this project.
