Web Mapping for the Murray-Darling Basin Authority - The Challenges and Opportunities of Open Access
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) is a Commonwealth agency responsible for the sustainable management of water resources in the Murray-Darling Basin. The Authority has identified the need for web mapping infrastructure to provide online access to the Authority’s spatial information via discovery, access and publishing tools. In line with the requirement to harmonise the Authority’s online information strategies with those of other Commonwealth agencies, it is imperative that any web based information services are provided on robust open standards. With this in mind, standardisation of systems that implement Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards is a high priority task. We are undertaking a staged approach to these implementations, initially adopting ArcGIS Server at the back end to provide integrated and scalable web services that support WMS and KML. This paper describes the process of building an OGC compliant infrastructure for the Murray-Darling Basin’s web mapping requirements.
