A MetaCat real-time report comparing the increase in gas prices over time.

Students gather gas prices in their cities and, as a class exercise, calculate the average monthly price. The calculated average price and associated location are then entered into a central data tracking repository by an authorized person. Users with permissions can view the data in real-time using a variety of data visualization techniques. An example real-time report is shown above.
