Abstract

Recently a new class of applications has emerged that uses AJAX and other Web programming techniques to provide a rich user experience in a Web browser. This class of applications is being called Web 2.0 and includes Google maps and Google suggest. To experiment with this approach, we have developed a Web 2.0 thin client collaborative visualization framework called GeoBoosttrade that uses scalable vector graphics and AJAX to provide a rich user experience built around collaboration. Our framework includes geospatial maps, standard business charts, node and link displays, and custom visual displays. All of our visualization components run in standard Web browsers and provide rich interaction and collaboration.
