OO GIS at Ispra

Project Vision: To establish at Ispra a permanent centre of expertise in object-oriented GIS technologies based around an in-house developed and maintained OO-GIS research application based on a commercial OO-GIS product.

Requirements Specification

Baseline

The baseline specification is the project mission statement (project vision), see header above.

More Details

The intention is not simply to do a piece of research to show that various segmentation and classification tasks can make good use of OO GIS technology.

The intention is to demonstrate a production-level capability. This means that the integration of several types of software (in-house C++, server-based GIS) and a complete (if skeletal) flowline (workflow) is as important as the technical capability demonstrated. The simple fact that the flowline is built using a commercially-available GIS is also important in itself.

One of the requirements is to discover how much work is involved in creating such a production level capability.

Deliverables

First document required is the inital abstract of the proposed academic paper (delivered 10 April 1998).
