This paper describes about spatio-temporal geographic information system, named STIMS(Spatio-Temporal Information Management System). STIMS handle temporal information assigned each geographic object and can execute several kinds of spatial operations on the world of specified time. The system adopts implicit topology data model to handle such temporal data. By this data model, the data structu...

The provincial government A Coruña, in Spain, has been working on the last years in the construction of a geographic information system for the management of its territory. The result of this work are three software products: WebEIEL, gisEIEL and the ideAC node. WebEIEL is the web application that publishes the information on the Internet. gisEIEL is the desktop application that is used by the ...

Current research examining the potential of the World-Wide Web as a means of increasing public participation in local environmental decision making in the UK is discussed. The paper considers traditional methods of public participation and argues that new Internet-based technologies have the potential to widen participation in the UK planning system. Evidence is provided of the potential and ac...

This Web-based application allows to access views of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) concerning the epidemiology of the demand and the supply of care. It is a Web-based Geographic Information System (Web-GIS), the SIGNe (Système d'Information Géographique pour la Néphrologie), designed for the Renal Epidemiology and Information Network (REIN) dedicated to ESRD. It is a visualisation and decision...

The perception of geographic information system and spatial data infrastructure in the developing societies is vague. Developing societies in the context of this paper are societies that are disadvantaged in the provision of geographic information system and spatial data infrastructure. The notion is that there is no clear cut understanding of geographic information system and spatial data infr...

This Paper describes the design and development of an innovative Information system application that uses Google maps and GIS to record and present Natura 2000. For the pilot case study it was selected Natura 2000 in Central Macedonia, Greece. It constitutes a web application and can be expanded to record all Natura 2000 in Greece. It addresses to simple users which will have the opportunity to...

Using the recently developed 3D GIS (Geographic Information System) and related visualisation technologies, we have created a digital diorama of an entire historical city, which can be used to virtually travel through different realistic landscapes at different times in the history. The digital diorama called Virtual Kyoto is the virtual geographic environment of the past, present, and future o...

With the development of strategic oil and gas assets, massive spatiotemporal oil and gas data have been accumulated. Application systems that assist in the storage and management of the voluminous and complex oil and gas datasets are in high demand. The voluminous and various data should be leveraged and turned into information for business decision-making and operation assistance. In this pape...
