 Web Services Solution for Wastewater Work Management Operations Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Venu Kanaparthy, Charles O'Hara The GeoResources Institute at Mississippi State University is leveraging Spatial Technologies and Web-based services for mapping and managing wastewater resources for execution of work management operations. This paper presents an Open GIS Web services architecture providing streamlined workflow for wastewater work and utility management operations. Mobile GIS solution is developed with ArcPad, supporting work order query, download, and update services implemented using Microsoft .NET framework. Desktop application implemented with MapObjects (Java) supports services such as parcel finding, query utility maintenance history, map view, work order creation, and redline features operations for field inspection. SOAP protocol is used for geographic data transport to desktop and mobile applications. The work management operations and feature characteristics of wastewater utilities are modeled with GML schemas standardizing the structure and content of geographic information exchanged. This enabled GIS applications to validate and use spatial data interoperably.
