Geographic information system (GIS) for managing survey data to the development of GIS-ready information
Majeed, Zainal A. and David Parker
This paper describes the use of current geospatial handling technology to manage captured and processed survey data and other information in the Department of Surveying and Mapping Malaysia, abbreviated as JUPEM. The data empowerment consequently advances to the stage of producing and delivering of GIS-readyy information using current GIS technology. Basically, two management tools based on GIS fundamentals are used to carry out the objectives. Taking a practical, rather than conceptual approach, particular focus is placed on the need for the identification and application of existing geospatial standards and new available GIS technology in addressing some of these issues. A range of solutions have been developed for the management of survey and mapping information covering cadastral data, topographic and mapping data, aerial photographic images and geodetic information within Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. A modus operandi flow line is designed and tried to particularly fabricate a number of GIS-ready information out of the managed data and an on-line map visualisation and query of these geospatial data. The end product of the GIS is expected to resolve the issues of data integration and delivery from multiple heterogeneous data sources. The research employs current GIS software, ArcGIS and other spatial data handling application to carry out the task of data management, transformation and delivery. As widely as possible existing standards, current geospatial data handlings, protocols and GIS technologies have been used to develop solutions to the issues.
