SoSEdata3D

A challenge these days is how to extract and display core concepts in data. One solution is to view concepts and their relationships in three-dimensions (3D) especially data that has parent - child relationships between concepts. I see the future lying with visualizations and with understanding the differences between data points rather than the actual data points themselves. This helps with comprehending issues and understanding how one concept can interact and affect others such as the relationships between the concepts of humankind, the natural world, and the artificial world. This paper addresses the issue of how to represent data in a way that shows relationships between concepts in three dimensions and can be viewed for different purposes. It provides a procedure for mapping data within a 3D environment using a Systems-of-System Engineering (SoSE) approach. This is called ´SoSEdata3d´. Each concept is assessed and quantified using relevant criteria and the results are represented in three dimensions using a combination of a data and metadata defined global model framework, a multi level matrix using the principles of fuzzy logic and granulation using interval and finite mathematics and a series of digital fingerprinting and relativity transformations of the data. This produces a capstone system which displays the dynamic relationships between concepts in 3D. SoSEdata3d allows the user to see visually the links or connections between nodes which represent concepts and to analyse them dynamically by rotating the resulting conceptual relationship model.
