Graphs on the High Seas: UI/UX Considerations for Great Geospatial Graph Visualization
summary
Shows a working pipeline that fuses millions of AIS observations with a knowledge graph to detect and persist ship-to-ship transfer detection events, using Neo4j for relationships, Postgres for time-series AIS storage, Kepler/marine traffic for feeds, and MapWeave + Mapbox + React for the front end. Demonstrates a flagged event in the North Sea, animated playback of vessel trajectories, and creation of a graph link that enriches ownership and sanctions queries, proving the approach actually works in practice.
