With the rapid development of information processing technology and continuously evolving technological hardware and software, the scale of spatial data has grown exponentially. This has necessitated that stricter requirements be placed on the way data is processed. The traditional single-machine centralized data processing method is gradually being replaced by the network-based cloud geographic information system (GIS) mode. However, the information processing method of the business system in the existing spatial information network environment is difficult to expand, which limits the application of the business system. This paper proposes an on-demand and extended model for the GIS data processing procedure that considers the three-way separation of algorithm development, business processes, and the operational interface, and can implement an on-demand expansion of business processes by process modeling the business and task scheduling the workflow engine. This can expand the scope of business systems and improve the efficiency of business system construction.

Building Information

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology that focusing on the building element properties to the construction components which cover the interior and exterior building, while Geographic Information System (GIS) describe to the technology that can provide the large-scale information which cover inside and outside buildings (spaces and areas). In construction project application, BIM technology already been used as a worldwide tool while GIS rarely been applied. Each technology contains their own advantages that can be utilized in the construction project application. To bring the best effective approach in construction project, the integration between BIM and GIS technology can be considered. This paper presented an attempt in integrating BIM and GIS by using FME as a data integration platform to solve the limitation of BIM in construction project by using advantages of GIS. Through this research, an investigation of the data exchange during integration process between BIM and GIS will be look up. By using this approach, it is possible to store the BIM and GIS data in one environment. The end results for this paper will cover the method of the data exchange between BIM to GIS and GIS to BIM. Besides that, this paper highlight how GIS can solve the limitation in BIM in construction project.

ABSTRACT The Oil Program Center at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Headquarters is developing geographic information system (GIS) standards to aid EPA's 10 regions in developing and implementing GIS. GIS can support spill response, contingency planning, risk analysis, training and exercises, inspections and enforcement actions, reporting, incident analysis, cost recovery, and outreach. By developing and promoting standards, the Oil Program Center hopes to ensure that GIS development is targeted at the broadest practical user base and considers all aspects of EPA's oil program. In addition, GIS standards will promote consistency between EPA regions, promote data sharing, reduce duplication of effort, and focus attention on using GIS as an analytical tool rather than just as a mapping tool. The standards also may promote greater consistency between the Oil Program Center and other offices within EPA; for example, standards promote watershed-based analysis, which is consistent with other offices' use of watersheds as units of analysis. The standards address the following issues: Minimum essential data elements Data verification and accuracy standards Standard symbols and icons System design and data structure Because the specific needs of regions differ, the GIS tools that they develop will reflect these differences. GIS data standards, however, will promote compatibility across the regions to facilitate collaboration and expand prevention, preparedness, response, and outreach capabilities.

Transportation Applications

Transportation analysis involving multiple jurisdictions requires data sharing and spatial data interoperability among geographic information system (GIS) data sets. Data sharing and spatial data interoperability issues related to multijurisdictional transportation analysis are discussed. Specific techniques based on practical data-sharing, problem-solving experience are developed. To further enhance the data-sharing process, a conceptual framework is established to guide technique implementations. Regional GIS transportation (GIS-T) platforms integrated from various data sources by applying the framework and the associated techniques are also presented. To better support different transportation applications, an open GIS-T platform is proposed, consisting of a series of customized base maps, each tailored to suit individual applications and, as a whole, linked together by inherently established interoperability.
