EGOVIS is a tool that allows policymakers to create "mashups" by combining data from different sources to gain insights into public safety. It addresses the information needs of policymakers by providing contextual data and the ability to perform simple, contextual, and similarity queries. The system's architecture stores aggregated data in a data warehouse and includes modules for mashup creation, data presentation, and translation to facilitate interpretation while avoiding privacy violations or misinterpretation of statistics. Evaluation of the tool's scalability and ability to incorporate additional data sources is suggested for further research.
