Authors: Anupam Mukherjee, Wei Choong Lee

GeoSpace is a complete and automated end-to-end national spatial data Clearinghouse that bridges data suppliers and data users. It enables officers from different agencies to form virtual team and forums to discuss common issues over a real-time map based e-consultation and collaboration platform. The web-based system helps to tackle challenging issues and improves productivity and efficiency of public officers and offers valuable insights through geo-analytics that enable them to make more informed decisions to serve citizens better. Developed based on Service Oriented Architecture, GeoSpace represents a whole new concept in delivering NSDI using Geospatial Cloud Computing based platform where hundreds of data layers, APIs and tools are published as services for government agencies consuming and deploy their own business applications quickly and cost efficiently.
