Increasingly, data available to network analysts includes not only
relationships between actors but measurements of entity attributes and
relations through time and space. Integrating this information
with existing dynamic network analysis techniques demands new models
and tools. This paper introduces two extensions to the ORA dynamic
network analysis platform intended to meet this need. The first, OraGIS,
provides geospatial visualization and clustering algorithms. The second,
Loom, assists in the analysis of agent movements through a discrete state
space (such as a set of named locations) over time. We discuss the
capabilities of both tools and their integration with the traditional
analytics in the ORA platform.
