3. What is Geo Web Publisher? Comprehensive Web GIS solutionfor publishing geospatial information via the Web Easy to implement, high performance Brings together multiple data sources, and databases Fully integrated with the geospatial desktop tools OGC compliant, WMS server Advanced tools for GIS Web site administration and authoring. End user tools for map navigation, query, analysis, reporting and more.

4. A picture is worth 1000 words Administrationtools GIS Web Site Operational Web GIS sites can be fully created and managed from the Administration tools. No programming required.

5. Geo Web Publisher Value Proposition Integrate a variety of graphical sources Integrate a variety of non-graphical data sources Author and administer general or specialized GIS web sites: Via easy-to-use tools that do not require web development skills Through web development techniques Intelligent publishing: Vector and raster A choice of clients appropriate for internal users, third parties, or the public

6. Map Server, Web GIS A Map Server will publish a map and its Table of Content. A Web GIS will allow users to find assets, get reports, and interact with a map if need be. A Web GIS usually needs a Map Server for displaying maps, it is a important piece but not all that is needed.

7. Map Server Map Table Of Content Web GIS Table Of Content Map (with tools) Searches Reports

8. Navigating databases, Key aspect of GIS Geo Web Publisher can integrate database information along with graphical data (map layers). GWP Administrators can set up advanced searches, advanced reports and pre-set thematic mapping. Database tables not directly linked to spatial objects can be tied to map layers, queried and used just like any other table.

12. City of Mississauga • Project: • eMaps is part of the eCity portal • Mississauga is Canada’s sixth largest city. • Objectives: • eCity’s objective is to realize savings through a cost avoidance model and provide an increase in customer service to the residents and clients. • eMaps implements a robust multi-functional interactive online mapping site that is closely tied with the corporate systems and processes. • Fast facts: • eMaps will reduce the number of information inquiry calls to the City. Mississauga estimates the number of calls will significantly decrease and anticipates associated savings of $10,000’s/year from this alone. eCity users can search and display property related mapping and aerial imagery on the eCity portal 24X7.

13. Oldham Metropolitan BC Project: Intranet - Internet Implementation Oldham Metropolitan Burrough Council Objectives: to provide on demand, simple and easy access to corporate data to enable in-house users make informed decisions to provide members of the public with direct access to the same information. Fast facts: Provides access to the authority’s land and property assets, detailed highway records, school locations and contact details, community and public building locations and details. Also, a wide variety of other generic maps are provided.

14. Saudi Telecom • Project: • E-Map GIS Intranet Project • Saudi Telecom Company • Objectives: • Integrate many geospatial data sources into an Oracle Spatial datastore and make them accessible to users via the Web. • Fast facts: • Saudi Telecom Co. (STC) is the telecommunication services provider in Saudi Arabia • Includes network data, telecom facilities, landbase, points of interest, navigable street data, and satellite imagery. E-Map can provide shortest route/driving directions, produce thematic maps, perform vicinity searches, pin-point landmarks and generate custom reports through English and Arabic language interfaces .

15. SNAM Rete Gas Project: • GIS Intranet Objectives: • Allow access via the SRG nationwide intranet to geospatial data about the gas transmission network • Support an environment which supports technical inquiries from web clients Fast facts: • SNAM’s transmission network is stored in Oracle Spatial. The GIS Intranet provides access to the gas network typology and functional status. Multiple scales of raster landbase are supported • Different criteria can be selected for generating reports and map visualization. • Network elements can be queried and screen views can be exported in PDF, JPEG and/or printed. Data is immediately available with precision and richness not available with the former system. Customers can easily be identified to improve customer service, such as fast and efficient communication regarding outages.

16. Urzad Marszalkowski Woj. DolnoSlask. Project: • DSIP - Province Integrated Information System • Lower Silesia, Wroclaw, Poland Objectives: • Aid local government in making better, well informed decisions with more current, accurate information • Improve efficiency and data sharing via intranet and internet sites Fast facts: • Lower Silesia’s Geographic Information System is an Oracle Spatial based repository of geospatial data for the province • In addition to data sharing among government entities, DSIP offers online Internet information services for the public. Real-time access to accurate geospatial data has promoted better governmental decision making and a more informed public.

17. City of Eindhoven Project: • E-government Site • Gemeente Eindhoven Objectives: • A solution to incorporate spatial information from Oracle Spatial in the e-government Internet site of the municipality to aid in supporting information and operation products for the citizens Fast facts: • The site provides creative incorporation of spatial information in the government website • It offers the ability to perform spatial data edits via the website • Project Web Site: http://www.bestemmingsplannen.eindhoven.nl The application saves significant time and effort in producing high-quality web-based maps. “Enriching the e-government Internet site with spatial information is five minutes work, instead of (taking) three weeks (of) programming.”
