Spatial aggregation
Spatial aggregation is the aggregation of all data points for a group of resources over a
specified period (the granularity). Data aggregations in Group Time Series reports are
of the spatial aggregation type.
The result of the aggregation is one data point that reflects some statistical view of the
collected and aggregated data points — for
example, average, minimum, maximum, sum, or count. Typically, multiple aggregated
data points are presented in a report for the given reporting period.

• Thematic map
• A thematic map is a type of map that portrays the geographic pattern of a
particular subject matter (theme) in a geographic area.
• This usually involves the use of map symbols to visualize selected properties of
geographic features that are not naturally visible, such as temperature, language, or
population.
