Interacting With Multi Tier Data

Combining the analysis in previous sections we can utilise an open source tool called kepler.gl to interact with our multi tier data. In order to lay suppliers on a map, filter by product keyword, HS code and tier we need to split the data in 3 portions and add them to kepler.

The Suppliers Layer​

This layer is the base layer for the map, created by exporting suppliers from the multi tier dataset with tier, location, impact, industry fields as a table. Turning this layer on renders suppliers sized by their impact.

The HS Code Layer​

This layer provides the same information as the base map layer above, but suppliers are tagged with HS codes they supply. When turned on, this allows us to filter using a HS code range, which is useful since HS codes are hierarchical.

Product Keywords Layer​

This layer adds product keywords automatically extracted from product descriptions. This filter allows us to filter suppliers based on text descriptions of product keywords supplied.
