Abstract

Today's geo-information systems are historically grown products which are hardly extensible to meet the requirements imposed by 3D/4D-modeling. The next generation GISs should benefit from modern software engineering technologies. A component-based design encourages a fast "assembly" of applications from high-level software building blocks. Following this approach a complex general-purpose geo-information system can be substituted by a family of specialized subsystems which due to the common design basis are open for mutual data exchange. We introduce GeoToolKit component software intended for the development of 3D/4D geo-scientific applications. We also present our experience in building different types of geo-scientific applications on top of GeoToolKit. We show that common data types inherited by diverse applications from the GeoToolKit spatial class hierarchy create an excellent basis for the database-level integration of heterogeneous geo-scientific data.

在GeoToolKit之上构建地球科学应用:一个数据集成的案例研究

今天的地理信息系统是历史上发展起来的产品，很难扩展到满足3D/ 4d建模的要求。下一代GISs将受益于现代软件工程技术。基于组件的设计鼓励从高级软件构建块快速“组装”应用程序。按照这种方法，一个复杂的通用地理信息系统可以被一系列专门的子系统所取代，这些子系统由于共同的设计基础而开放，可以进行相互的数据交换。我们介绍了GeoToolKit组件软件，用于开发3D/4D地球科学应用程序。我们还介绍了在GeoToolKit之上构建不同类型的地球科学应用程序的经验。我们表明，不同应用程序从GeoToolKit空间类层次结构中继承的公共数据类型为异构地球科学数据的数据库级集成奠定了良好的基础。
