  • USA: Navy warship now sails with e-navigation system

    The first Navy surface warship has been certified to navigate using electronic charts.

    The USS Cape St. George, based in Norfolk, Va., is using the Electronic Charting Display and Information System-Navy (ECDIS-N) with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) as its primary navigation system, according to an NGA release.

  • USA: New Jersey: County joins Vernon in GIS program

    Sussex County and Vernon Township have entered into a shared services agreement for the development of Geographic Information Systems — (GIS) based data, internet GIS application development and no-cost internet GIS Web hosting.

    As a shared service, the county has estimated a 40 percent savings for GIS data development, a 67 percent savings for internet GIS application development, and an annual savings of $5,000 for internet GIS web hosting for Vernon.

  • USA: New Jersey: County, Vernon to share mapping services

    The Sussex County Freeholders and Vernon Township officials have agreed to share a Geographic Information System service, which will allow the township to update its tax maps and save money for both as the information is compiled and posted online.

    The county-run database is an expansive program that organizes information based on location, such as parcel information for tax maps, stormwater runoff data and even shade tree programs in some municipalities.

  • USA: Pennsylvania: Bethlehem planners recommend mapping system

    A high-tech mapping system of Bethlehem is among the top projects in Mayor John Callahan's capital improvement plan for 2005.

    The geographic information system, which would be implemented over five years at a cost of $870,000, would feature every tax parcel and have software to track permits and inspections.

  • USA: Review of Draft Framework Data Standards

    The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) invites comments from all interested parties on draft framework data standards. The public review period begins July 30, 2004 and ends October 30, 2004.

    These standards were developed through the Geospatial One-Stop e-Government initiative. They establish common requirements to facilitate data exchange for seven themes of geospatial data fundamental to many different GeographicInformation Systems (GIS) applications. The seven geospatial data themes are: geodetic control, elevation, orthoimagery, hydrography, transportation, cadastral, and governmental unit boundaries.

  • USA: San Francisco's BART Cops Go GIS

    San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit police force takes advantage of mapping technology to better share information.

    At first glance, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system wouldn't seem a likely candidate for a GIS makeover. It isn't a government jurisdiction in the usual sense, nor does it have most of the traditional responsibilities that make GIS useful to public officials.

  • USA: The Geospatial One-Stop Portal Dramatically Increases Data Access for Gov't

    The Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) portal provides data that is shareable by anyone, anywhere. Overseen by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), it is the result of an e-government initiative to make access to geospatial information from multiple sources faster and less expensive for all levels of government as well as the public. The site at www.geodata.gov was launched on June 30, 2003.

  • VN: GIS technology revolutionizes urban management in Ho Chi Minh City

    Ho Chi Minh City has been applying Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology to revolutionize its urban management.

    The implementation of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is increasingly prevalent across major global metropolises, serving as a critical tool for detailed urban data capture. This technological application is pivotal in the development of smart cities and the subsequent enhancement of the quality of life for urban residents. Nationally, the adoption of this technology has become widespread, with notable and extensive implementation in cities such as Ho Chi Minh City.

  • Weaving GIS into IT: One plus one equals three

    Geographical Information Systems (GIS) perform the functions of capture, management, analysis and representation of spatial information. Its value lies in being able to process data through time and space relative to location. IT systems integrate digital information within organisations for the purposes of sharing it. This includes e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet data and a host of other types of enterprise data. IT also monitors and provides security of data, speed of transmission, and an assortment of functions related to enterprise networking.

  • What Do You Think GIS in the Cloud Will Be Like?

    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have evolved remarkably over the last 50 years. What began as a desire to perform mapping functions using computers, is now a collection of modules, functional capabilities and software programs all configured toward a system for handling geographic-based information. Recent trends toward software as a service as compared to products means profound change for both GIS professionals and the public who will engage geographic information in the future. What do you think GIS in the Cloud will be like?

    Whether or not you use the word Cloud, for the purposes of this column I am writing it with respect to the delivery of all functions of a GIS from distant computing centers. Imagine GIS in the Cloud. The entire, complete functionality and delivery of published geospatial and GIS work flows, and results, through the use of computers operating at distant locations. Data creation, data management, spatial analysis and visual representation - all Cloud propagated.

  • Zauberformel GIS hat großes Potenzial

    Geographische Informationssysteme entwachsen den Kinderschuhen. Aktuelle Studien stellen dem Geoinformationsmarkt ein exzellentes Zeugnis aus: Das Marktsegment gilt als innovationsträchtig und Fachleute bescheinigen ihm ein hohes Entwicklungspotenzial. Doch obwohl immer mehr Branchen auf Geodaten zurückgreifen wollen, stehen ihnen immer noch etliche Hürden im Weg.
