Geospatial Information Management: spatial is still special

Fuzzy Spatial Data Modeling for Integration of Heterogeneous Geospatial Information

Geospatial data has become an integral part of many decision making processes specially related to socio-economic development. The geospatial information are often stored, maintained and processed by various diverse organizations in proprietary GIS systems. With increasing use in Internet and web services on line data sharing and accession has increased. Thus the major bottlenecks of integratin...

Building Geospatial Mashups to Visualize Information for Crisis Management

In time-sensitive environments such as disaster management, decision-making often requires rapidly gathering the information from diverse data sources and then visualizing the collected information to understand it. Thus, it is critical to reduce the overhead in data integration and visualization for efficient decision-making. Geospatial mashups can be an effective solution in such environments...

Intelligent Use of Geospatial Information for Emergency Operation Management

This paper presents the EU project SHARE which aims at developing a mobile service architecture to support largescale rescue operations with multimedia communication and information services. The task of planning and controlling large-scale rescue operations requires flexible and robust tools which help the rescue forces to do their search and rescue work with maximum efficiency. Resource plann...

What Is Special about Spatial Data

Resource Information Management of Spatial Information Grid

Spatial Information Grid (SIG) is an infrastructure and framework which enable us to congregate and share large-scale, heterogeneous, distributed spatial resources across dynamic “virtual organizations”, to organize and manage spatial resources systematically. In order to enable the users and soft agents to locate, select, employ and integrate spatial resources semi-automatically in SIG, we pro...
