On-line services for surveyors in Israel
Szancer, Carmela et al.
The last decade has seen a revolutionary emergence of Internet technologies. This revolution has made a great impact on surveyors and on the way by which the Survey of Israel provides data and services. The Survey is making great efforts to convert all its information systems, activities and service to the internet. Thus during the last year the survey has launched three new systems: 1. The National Cadastral and historic maps on-line archive - The system allows searching, querying, viewing and downloading over one million scanned documents including a registration plans, surveying notes, field books, court rulings, control point descriptions, and historical maps. 2. National Geodesic Database (NGDB) - an online system that allows searching, querying, and information retrieval about control points, corner points, and Benchmarks. 3. National Spatial Geoportal, an on-line GIS system that displays more than 100 geographic layers from different governmental ministries. The system was designed for the public and allows geographic data retrieval, map production, sophisticated applications on unique public data layer and the creation of geographic layers from private data in a designated personal space. The development of these online services presented a set of challenges to SOI. This articel will present these problems and their solutions as well as a new intergrative system that is currently under development.
