A study on the construction of GIS component repository system

The most main current of software industry tends to focus on the area of component. In this situation, software industry in GIS (Geographic Information System) also becomes an interesting issue by performing a large scale of national GIS application development as well as even small scale of FMS (Facility Management System). In order to develop those system efficiently, there should be deep consideration not only component development and but also component management. In this paper, these components are classified based on their particular rule, especially considering GIS component, before cataloging them in repository. Here Web-based GIS Component Registration and Retrieval System is implemented then the cataloged component will help application developers to select easily their desired component and new component may be re-produced by modifying and combining previous components and system. Finally, the original goal of this all effort is to have high reusability and interoperability by using previous GIS component.
