ADVANCEMENT OF GEOSERVICES GEOTECHNOLOGIES of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) (Research Program 13: "Informationssysteme im Erdmanagement: von Geodaten zu Geodiensten").
The project started in October 2002. However, our working group has
entered later, in June 2003, as successor for a project partner that
dropped out. The connection to the Internet and mobile communication
technologies offer new perspectives for geo sciences mainly by location
independent access to distributed geo databases. A range of GIS
companies now offer specialized tools for the visualization and
processing of geodata on mobile devices. Most mobile GIS so far usually
focus on geodata viewer functionality. If editing is supported they
rely on off-line synchronization of the data when back in the office.
First research prototypes or commercial systems also try to address the
issue on-line editing, but - if at all - they then favour proprietary
solutions, which are not based on standards. In particular they do not
offer standard-based possibilities for the on-line transmission and
update of the updated spatial data.
Objective of this project is to develop an overall concept for
acquisition, administration, usage and visualization of geo data for
mobile geo services. By components of a prototype system the technical
feasibility and acceptance of the used methods within geo sciences
should be shown. For a good reusability and extensibility of the
software the communication between these components should be based on
standards by the Open GIS Consortium.
The project partners separate the development of the above-described components into the following tasks:
- Development of web based GIS components for online access of time-spatial objects in geo services (Osnabrück)
- Mobile acquisition, updating, usage/analysis and visualization to geo data (Heidelberg, Munich) more information... (only in german)
- Online visualization, processing and acquisition of 3D datasets
with a mobile terminal backed up by augmented reality (AR) (Karlsruhe)
