Back in August we mentioned that Illumina Consulting Group’s LUX real-time streaming analytics platform features a watchboarding service based on GDELT: “LUX ingests high volume dynamic societal information from the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone (GDELT) based on continuously monitoring the world’s broadcast, print, and web news globally. Analysts set parameters for exploiting GDELT reports which feed dynamic watch boards displaying the status and stability of user defined countries and areas of the world in real time.”
Below you can see some screen captures of this new platform, which offers a variety of spatial and other analytics and the ability to merge GDELT with an array of realtime streaming datasets for more holistic coverage of the world.
