Enterprise geographic information systems
Maguire, David & Kevin Daugherty
This paper will provide a look at Enterprise Geographic Information Systems as this ICT architecture is becoming more and more common in support of large cadastre administrations. GIS, in parallel with ICT, has evolved from desktop systems that supported a single user working on a project, to department workgroups on a shared local network, to large enterprise systems with no limit to physical location, made possible by high speed Internet connections. Land records administration requires the management of diverse forms of data and enterprise GIS is recognized as a specialized form of ICT that is capable of integrating data from disparate sources and diverse contributors. GIS also has the means to produce new data as a result of geoprocessing, and report this data in new and useful ways, by its powerful visualization tools. Using ICT standards, such as data base management systems, application servers, communication and programming protocols, enterprise GIS is possible and productive in land administration workflows and data sharing. Local and national examples of enterprise GIS in support of data integration, data processing, workflow, and data dissemination will be given.
