Using real-time data

Web mashups often use real-time data. Web mashups are essentially digital compositions that combine data, services, or functionalities from multiple sources into a single integrated experience. Think of them as the DJ mixes of the web world, where you’re blending Google Maps with weather data, for instance, to create a new, more informative map that shows weather patterns over geographic locations. Web mashups are amazing and have changed the way many different industries operate. However, they are typically limited in that they usually just display pre-processed data on a map and give developers access to a JavaScript API. But what if you want to process the data in some way? What if you want to filter, change, and then send it to another system? To use real-time data for geospatial analysis, you need to be able to access it as point data or a georeferenced raster.
