Dynamic Data-Model Datastructure and Applications generated from Interface-structure - INTERLIS (.ILI) - GML 3 - UML - Other modelling Tools Advantages Flexible Data-Model Can be extendet very simple (by customer) RAD (rapid application development) -Topology -History (long Transactions) -Specific Feature-Types -3D -Splines -Raster -Different coordinate systems -Different languages -Display-Model Risks We need well-defined interface Too many different models Data modeling is not easy What can be done (not done) with the interface

Make ONE specification (data-model, interface) Use newest technology Create nice data-models –Do not change it too often Work together with GIS-developers –Think about different GIS- implementations Force people to use this only data model My wishes….

Thank you very much !
