Abstract

The field of Spatially Integrated Social Science (SISS) recognizes that much data of interest to social scientists has an associated geographic location. SISS systems use geographic location as the basis for integrating heterogeneous social science data sets and for visualizing and analyzing the integrated results through mapping interfaces. However, sourcing data sets, aggregating data captured at different spatial scales, and implementing statistical analysis techniques over the data are highly complex and challenging steps, beyond the capabilities of many social scientists. The aim of the UQ SISS eResearch Facility (SISS-eRF) is to remove this burden from social scientists by providing a ..
