WaGIS (Waterways Geoinformation System) represents the realization of the GIS concept for waterways and shipping management. The aim of the WaGIS project is to develop a system for the standardized utilization of position-related digital information describing objects on federal inland waterways. The underlying concept is to make available all types of information from different disciplines to users of the waterways and shipping management system in a standardized form. The following major requirements are implemented in the developed system: ?Optimized access to data from all disciplines, ?Improved management, evaluation and representation of position-related data, ?Improved integration of geodata from external departments, ?Long-term archiving of data inventories, ?Backup support for the processing of interdisciplinary problems and work schedules, ?Retrieval of information from data inventories available in the waterways and shipping management system WaGIS is a stand-alone, generic information system providing facilities for independent research and data evaluation. The basic data structure of WaGIS is provided by existing IT methods. The task of WaGIS is to permit the interdisciplinary management and provision of basic information: information on the available object and graphic data inventories, data research, data presentation and data transfer to external applications. Besides the provision of data, WaGIS also offers methods for data evaluation (e.g. statistical evaluations, position-related analyses). In the initial stage, WaGIS will be realized as a documentation and data retrieval system. Critical aspects regarding the realization of the concept are presented. The development of the WaGIS basic version has now been advanced to such a stage that it may be integrated into the active operations of the waterways and shipping management division. Based on future IT strategy and changing user requirements, the basic version of WaGIS is designed in such a way that matching and further development will be possible to realize openness regarding the integration and utilization of data derived from additional source methods as well as specialization regarding sub-aspects. |
