Web Geoinformatics for Creating Schema & Interface for Mapping With Distributed GIS: Geomatics for Sustainable Societies
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The objective is development of an automated natural hazard zonation system with Internet-SMS warning utilizing geomatics for sustainable societies. At present no web-enabled warning system exists which can disseminate warning after hazard evaluation at one go and in real time. The functionality is to be modular in architecture having GIS-GUI, input, understanding, rainfall prediction, expert, output, and warning modules. Through this paper a significantly enhanced system integrated with Web-enabled-geospatial information has been proposed, and it can be concluded that an automated hazard warning system has been conceptualized and researched. However, now the scope is to develop it further. The research is aimed to create a dynamic and real-time spatial data infrastructure (SDI) solution by the way of continual sharable activity imparted by internet and ArcGIS/ArcIMS). At its core, the system is based on components GeoServer, GeoNetwork, Django, and GeoExt, that provide a platform for sophisticated web browser spatial visualization and analysis. Building on this stack, the present work utilises a map composer and viewer, tools for analysis, and reporting tools which are facilitated by ArcGIS/ArcIMS. It is designed on Web 2.0 principles to make it extremely simple to share data; easily add comments, ratings, tags connecting between ArcGIS/ArcIMS and existing GIS tools. To enhance distribution, the ArcGIS/ArcIMS enables simple installation and distribution; automatic metadata creation; search via catalogues and search engines. And to promote data collection the system is aimed to align incentives to create a sustainable SDI to align efforts so that amateur, commercial, non-governmental organisations and governmental creators all naturally collaborate, figure-out workflows, tools and licenses that work to assure data quality, inorder to promote data, constantly evolving, convincing and always up to date. The idea is to create a full featured platform for helping decision makers easily compose and share developments with spatial data.
