Abstract:
The provincial government A Coruña, in Spain, has been working on the last years in the construction of a geographic information system for the management of its territory. The result of this work are three software products: WebEIEL, gisEIEL and the ideAC node. WebEIEL is the web application that publishes the information on the Internet. gisEIEL is the desktop application that is used by the provincial government and the municipalities to create, query, visualize, analyze and update the information in the system. Finally, the ideAC node is a spatial data infrastructure that uses international standards to publish the information as a part of the Spanish spatial data infrastructure. In this paper, we describe the functionality and the architecture of the system and we present the problems that we had to face during the development of the system and the solutions that we applied.
