Abstract
Using Distributed Data in a Multi-Vendor Environment with OGC Web Services Track: New Technology and System Integration Author(s): Daniel Oefele Using distributed spatial data in a multi-vendor environment is of great importance to the GIS market, especially for GIS applications in local authorities. The relevance of combining data from different sources becomes apparent by the example of a utility's network information system (lines of energy, gas, water, sewage) consisting of distributed GIS. The Technical University of Munich, Germany, has developed a platform for testing standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The current application, which is based on that testing platform, supports the provision of information about the position of utility lines. The results of the project show that ArcIMS can be implemented in a multi-vendor information system across state boundaries using OGC specifications. ArcIMS works with the OGC specifications for Web Map Service and also Web Feature Service. The goal of the project is to show that interoperability between the GIS of several vendors (i.e., Esri, Autodesk, GE Smallworld, Intergraph) can be achieved.
