GroupARC|A Collaborative Approach to Gis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today's Geographic Information System (Gis) includes a multi-user database management system (Dbms) and is embedded in a network environment. The Dbms gives each individual the impression of being the only user|allowing people to work independently but explicitly preventing collaboration with others. An alternative approach is provided by Computer Supported Co-operative Work (Cscw) applications which enable groups of people to collaborate on shared tasks. In this paper we demonstrate the advantages to be gained by developing Cscw Gis applications combining the power of the Gis with the exibility of Cscw. We presentGroupARC a Wysiwis (What You See Is What I See) application which enables data from an Arc/Info Gis to be simultaneously browsed and annotated by multiple participants.

متن کاملA conceptual model for a collaborative GIS
Most current natural language based Geographical Information Systems (GIS) still interact with the user with the “question-answer” model. They do not support users effectively because the communication between the user and the system is easy to be broken down due to the ambiguity nature of the natural language. The collaborative interaction model was proposed for GIS so that GIS could simulate ...

متن کاملExtending Distributed GIS to Support Geo-Collaborative Crisis Management
Crises are often complex, geographical scale problems that require professionals to work in teams while dealing with a large amount of geographical information for making decisions. However, current geospatial technologies do not directly support group work with geographical information they impede rather than facilitate human-human collaboration and communication. Towards the goal of making GI...
