1Generalise Overview

1Generalise automatically creates multiple smaller-scale data products from large-scale data sources through a rules-based, automated data generalisation service. It saves huge amounts of time and effort when producing smaller scale data products and also it allows you to rapidly generate new products in response to market demands.

The following figure illustrates the links between the main concepts of 1Generalise. In this example, they are linked using a profile that has been set up. The source themes are loaded from one or more input datasets using the source classification. A similar step was applied to create the target themes from the output dataset using the target classification. The flowline in use is represented by just three themes: building, road, and river.

1Generalise can collaborate with:

1Workflow to automatically manage generalisation rules
1Integrate to ensure data quality is maintained in generalised products
1Transact to guarantee the integrity of shared data
