Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure Per Portal Architecture

Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure ‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites At the Content Management Layer  Technologies that support the publishing, management and retrieval of information Opportunities:  Support a user-defined geographic constraint to searches performed against structured or unstructured sources [ keyword(s) + bounding box ]

Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure ‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites At the Identity Layer  Technologies that support the personalization of content and presentation to the needs of each user Opportunities:  Filter pertinent news/information to one’s registered Area-Of-Interest (AOI)  Alerts - automatic delivery of public notices relevant to one’s registered Area-Of-Interest (AOI)

Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure ‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites At the Integration Layer  Technologies used to integrate the portal with the rest of the technology infrastructure Opportunities:  spatial adapters to provide geo-validation services

Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure ‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites At the Management Layer  Technologies supporting the management of the portal and understanding its usage Opportunities:  Business Intelligence Where are the users from ? What are the areas of interest?

Enriched Communities through Coordinated Geospatial Infrastructure Summary GIS Technology is very pertinent to Portal implementations GeoPortals are poised to be the next generation online presence for partnerships GeoPortals in advance of a Corporate eGov Portal is possible and can be strategic End-user value of GIS technology is likely most perceived at the presentation layer
