A system and method is provided for coordinating display of synchronized
spatial information and time-variant information on a visual interface as
a visual representation of a multi-dimensional planned process. The
system and method comprise a data store configured for storing the
time-variant information, such that the data store is further configured
for storing the spatial information as a plurality of data elements for
representing visual elements for display in the visual representation
with respect to a reference surface. Each of the visual elements is
operatively coupled to at least one sequenced element of a plurality of
sequenced elements. The system and method also include a synchronization
module coupled to the data store and is configured for synchronizing a
displayed state on the visual interface of the spatial information with a
displayed state on the visual interface of the time-variant information.
The time-variant information includes timeline data including at least
two of the plurality of sequenced elements having overlapping time spans
with respect to a common temporal reference frame, and includes a marker
for facilitating navigation of the plurality of sequenced elements with
respect to the common temporal reference frame. Changes in the displayed
state of the time-variant information are reflected in changes to the
displayed state of the spatial information.
