Geographic Information System A Quick Walk-Through
Geospatial Element • Latitude, Longitude, Depth • Points, Lines, Polygons • Co-ordinate Systems • Projections • Visualization Tools • Symbology
Examples of Data • Satellite Imagery • Georeferenced Data • GPS Referenced Data • Boundaries • Geotagged Multimedia Data
Data Visualization • Application • Mapping & Visualization Desktop Software • Arc GIS Desktop • QGIS Desktop • Geo-Media Desktop • Web Map Data Visualization Server Software • Arc GIS Advance Server • Custom Developed Geo-Portal • Apollo Web Map Application
Geo-Portal [ Web Map Server Software] Geoportal is a central application of Geographic Information System, which provides a visual interpretation of data. Geoportal store data in database and then represent it visually in a mapped format. People from different professions use map to communicate. It is not necessary to be a skilled cartographer to create maps. Google map, Bing map, Yahoo map are the best example for web based GIS mapping solution.
Geo-Portal - Objectives • Will put the accent on remote sensing, geospatial-static and in-situ data information and services • Will provide access to information, data and services to better understand, monitor, conserve, predict or simply improve the management of the key society benefit areas [disaster, energy, climate, agriculture, biodiversity]
Usage of GIS & Geoportal • National Cadastral Data Mapping & Urban Planning • Resources & Environment Management • Telecom and Network services • Accident Analysis and Hot Spot Analysis • Transportation Planning & Traffic Density Studies • Agricultural Applications • Disaster Management and Mitigation • Determine land use/land cover changes • Navigation (routing and scheduling) & Surveying • GIS based Digital Taxation • GIS Applications in Geology • Assets Management and Maintenance • Irrigation water management
