Infrastructural approach to processing of spatial data in the problems of management of territorial development
Рассмотрен инфраструктурный подход обработки пространственных данных для решения задач управления территориальным развитием, который основан на сервис-ориентированной парадигме, стандартах OGC, web-технологиях, WPS-сервисах и геопортале. The development of territories is a multi-dimensional and multi-aspect process, which can be characterized by large volumes of financial, natural resources, social, ecological and economic data. The data is highly localized and non-coordinated, which limits its complex analysis and usage. One of the methods of large volume data processing is information-analytical environments. The architecture and implementation of the information-analytical environment of the territorial development in the form of Geoportal is presented. Geoportal provides software instruments for spatial and thematic data exchange for its users, as well as OGC-based distributed services that deal with the data processing. Implementation of the processing and storing of the data in the form of services located on distributed servers allows simplifying their updating and maintenance. In addition, it allows publishing and makes processing to be more open and controlled process. Geoportal consists of following modules: content management system Calipso (presentation of user interface, user management, data visualization), RDBMS PostgreSQL with spatial data processing extension, services of relational data entry and editing, subsystem of launching and execution of WPS-services, as well as services of spatial data processing, deployed at the local cloud environment. The presented article states the necessity of using the infrastructural approach when creating the information-analytical environment for the territory management, which is characterized by large volumes of spatial and thematical data that needs to be processed. The data is stored in various formats and applications of service-oriented paradigm, OGC standards, web-technologies, Geoportal and distributed WPS-services. The developed software system was tested on a number of tasks that arise during the territory development.
