Conference Paper
Abstract:
DigMap is digital map excerpt (DME) and it represents a part of ICT GIS infrastructure that can be widely used in different areas. Its most recognized usage is going to be for printing out digital cadastral map excerpt composed from several layers (most common digital ortophoto, land use, parcels and buildings) used to locate, inventory, and appraise all owner’s property. Maps and map data are also important for other governmental agencies, the public, and the land information community (such as realtors, title companies, and surveyors).
DigMap in PDF format significantly simplify the view of geospatial data and feature attributes while DigMap embedded files can enhance the capability to manage, analyse, summarize, display, and disseminate geographically referenced information.
DigMap can be used in many different areas where digital map is needed. Exhaustive list of application areas can be found under INSPIRE Directive that addresses 34 spatial data themes needed for environmental applications. Due to DigMap standardization it can be used as a wide accepted technology and common format for digital geospatial data dissemination over Internet.
As support for many public services connected with delivery of geospatial data DigMap is going to be availability online. According to the eGovernment benchmark method DigMap is five-stage maturity model that supports forth transaction, and finally fifth as well, which is the highest targetisation level.
DigMap supports transactional maturity model - also called full electronic case handling – where the user applies for and receives the service online, without any additional paper work, which is increasingly becoming mainstream. DigMap also supports the fifth level, targetisation, which provides an indication of the extent by which front- and back-offices are integrated, data is reused and services are delivered proactively.
DigMap allows online “one stop shop” approach to many public electronic services even when complexity of geospatial data is involved. Due to DigMap standardization it can be used as a wide accepted technology and common format for digital geospatial data dissemination over Internet. Since data are enveloped in today’s most common interoperable PDF format it enables easy Citizen Participation using wide range of devices (smartphones, tablets, PC).
DigMap PDF enables easy view of geospatial data and feature attributes while DigMap embedded files can enhance the capability to manage, analyse, summarize, display, and disseminate geographically referenced information.
DigMap non-functional requirement include: Standardization, Interoperability, Authenticity, Payable.
Standardization. DigMap will enable sharing spatial data in standardized .pdf format, providing end users with possibility to have a direct view on spatial data presented as a map (picture in PDF file).
Interoperability. DigMap will be based on wide accepted OGC SLD, WMS, WCS WFS and WPS standard and fully INSPIRE compliant.
Authenticity. To be able to use issued DigMap for legal purpose it must be signed with digital signature enabling authentication and non-repudiation.
Payable. DigMap will have billing ability based on price of point, area or number of objects delivered to the end user.
