Spatio-temporal Analysis of Weibo Check-in Data Based on Spatial Data Warehouse

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 399))

Abstract

With the increasing development of the application of location services, massive check-in data is produced by social media applications on the mobile appliances, which includes characteristics of spatio-temporal information, user-emotion information, and etc. Traditional analysis techniques cannot handle check-in data well because of the complexity of spatio-temporal information. Spatial data warehouse provided a good architecture for spatial data’s storage and analysis. In this research, we designed a spatial data warehouse to store and manage the check-in data, used OLAP analysis technology to analyze it, and found many interesting results. It showed spatial data warehouse and OLAP provided a good frame to analyze check-in data.
