Abstract
 Applying 'GIS Services Bus / GSB' in the Enterprise Track: System Implementation for GIS Author(s): Sohail El-Abd Enterprise GIS could be defined as an architecture that integrates geospatial data and services sharing across an organization. The paper shows the traditional approach that is based on the presence of a central geodatabase in which the whole organization's datasets are migrated, highlighting the drawbacks of orienting the whole business toward GIS. The paper presents the GIS Services Bus (GSB) approach, which is a new practical approach of applying GIS in the enterprise based on service-oriented architecture technology. The GSB approach is most appropriate for high-level organizations that have many departments and where GIS isn't mission critical. The paper explains the concept of generalizing global GIS services in a common service bus to broaden usability in the whole organization, serving users' required data along with the appropriate customized interface, creating on-call GIS services to be delivered to every user in the organization.
