Situation:
There was a GIS developed using MapObjects that supported shape and dxf data formats. It was necessary to migrate to a free GIS and develop more functionalities:
- Development of a GIS to manage geoinformation related to the Valencian coast
- Use of a spatial database and access to it through OGC services
- Development of not georeferred image analysis tools
Solution:
- Development of a coastal management extension for gvSIG Desktop.
- Integration of coastal geographic information files to a PostGIS database.
- Use of OGC standard data formats.
Benefits:
- The benefits of free software released under the GNU/GPL License.
- Better access to data and the benefits of working with spatial databases and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI).
