Geographical information systems (GIS) are becoming more prevalent in both day-today and strategic decision-making by retailers. Given the array of internal and external databases they use and integrate, and the human and organisational development needed, a most apposite description of how a GIS may be introduced for retailing decision-making is``system implementation''. There is little publis...

Surveillance of fatal disease increasingly realise on geographic information (Spatial and Temporal factors). We develop a web based geographical information system for online dengue and DHF mapping that is distributed, loosely coupled, interoperable and ultimately provide a real time, dynamic way to represent disease information on map. Hospital have access to password protected data entry func...

The recent emergence of eXtensible Markup Languge (XML) as a new standard for data representation and exchange on the World-Wide Web has drawn considerable attention in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) world. OCG (OpenGIS Consortium) is contributing with a XML specification to the representation of geographic information (called GML Geographical Markup Language). GML allows the exchange...

The development and documentation of software for the analysis of geographical data is maturing, and the needs and desires of varying user communities are becoming clearer. Certainly today there are more users in more communities, and in general much more data than before, even though data is more accessible in some countries than in others. Many more users are now meeting geographical data thr...

The application of GIS to the forecast and evaluation in the regional landslide can provide scientific basis for the regional geological environment management and the geological disaster assessment, can integrate the scattered data to share each other, and can improve data value. Its powerful interface function library provides a good tool for the professional GIS design and development. This ...

BACKGROUND Treatment variation in prostate cancer is common, and it is driven by clinical and clinician factors, patient preferences, availability of resources, and access to physicians and treating facilities. Most research on treatment disparities in men with prostate cancer has focused on race and socioeconomic factors. However, the geography of disparities - capturing racial and socioeconom...

/ This paper describes a framework for designing spatial decision support systems for environmental management using a knowledge-based systems approach. An architecture for knowledge-based spatial decision supportsystems (KBSDSS) is presented that integrates knowledge-based systems with geographical information systems (GIS) and other problem-solving techniques. A method based on spatial influe...

This paper presents research in Geographic Information Systems interoperability. Also, paper describes our work in development, introduces interoperability framework called GeoNis, which uses proposed technologies to perform integration task between GIS applications and legacy data sources over the Internet. Our approach provides integration of distributed GIS data sources and legacy informatio...

Although many GIS data models are available, a declarative, operational, well-defined, implementation-independent, and objectoriented language is lacking. Based on the theory of many sorted algebra, this work presents a family of geometric data models. Some geographical data models of urban information systems are illustrated using homomorphism. According to the results, the preferred character...
