El Abd, Sohail & Kholoud Saad
ESA can be regarded as the backbone for supplying data to the Egyptian society. In fact, it is currently the only governmental organization responsible for the coverage of Egypt with base topographic maps of several scales. It also has the responsibility of supporting national cadastre and land registration, in cooperation with the Real Estate Office in the Ministry of Justice. Moreover, ESA is a solid candidate in the Egyptian Geography Network (EGN), Egyptts National Geospatial Infrastructure (NSDI). In accordance, with its national role comes the establishment of ESAAs Geographic Information Management System (ESA GIM). This paper will provide a summary of the main business requirements and challenges that can be overcome with the aid of ESA GIM. It also gives a detailed description of the system established including the concept of the system, the system architecture, the data model and the different modules from which the system comprises. The proposed system architecture is based on building ESA GIM Data Warehouse, which is the data repository populated from three main data sources: the topographic department, the ECIM (Egyptian Cadastral Information Management) project and the cadastre project in Cairo province. Hence, the solution provides ESA with a tool to convert data coming in from multiple sources.
