in the essence of these large spatio-temporal data collections and their
changes over time. A dashboard with streaming visual summaries of the

range and variability of the attributes, and time interval, as well as
information about the (geographic) context.

The *Department of Geo-Information Processing* (GIP) is a vibrant
multi-disciplinary scientific team, specializing in methods and techniques
for processing (acquiring, organizing, analysing) spatio-temporal data and
