Abstract
GeoCommerce: Integrating GIS with e-Commerce
Track: Business, Banking, and Insurance
Author(s): Travis L Clark, Wing Chong
This paper presents the integration of GIS and e-commerce technologies to permit the selection of products through a spatially referenced geo-index. The Web store, constructed through a joint partnership between ZAI, Inc., and Michael Baker Corp. for FEMA's Map Service Center, allows customers to select products through a mapping interface in addition to a typical e-commerce catalog. The geo-index allows for shoppers to find map products through an address lookup or a defined area of interest. Eventually, a digital version of each product will be created so that customers may download shopping cart contents in real time.
