Already in use by a leading global Telecommunications company, the new iSMART release provides major advances in enterprise grade pure web editing capabilities for Geospatial data

17 July 2007, Dublin, Ireland, eSpatial, a leading provider of enterprise geospatial software and solutions today announced the availability of iSMART 5.3, a new version of its Geospatial software product which now includes new Web 2.0 web based editing solution for Geospatial data.

iSMART 5.3 provides the ability to deliver web browser based, integrated business applications featuring user editing and viewing capabilities usually only available in traditional desktop-installed GIS and CAD tools.

This unique approach delivers major advantages. Developers can directly embed GIS capabilities in modern web based business applications. This provides the ability to directly control the features and capabilities available to an end-user based on the specific task and workflow being carried out. The iSMART solution consolidates business and spatial data (e.g. separate CAD / GIS files) into a single seamless environment in Oracle. These web spatial editing capabilities are powerful enough to replace traditional desktop-installed specialist GIS Tools for a large variety of business solutions.

“Web 2.0 technologies such as AJAX and JSON enable web based applications to provide capabilities and interactivity traditionally only available on desktop tools” said Eamon Walsh, CTO eSpatial, “We are using these technologies for geospatial data editing, providing enterprise-grade geospatial multi-user data capture and editing facilities for pure web applications”.

The new Web Editing technology is already in use by Verizon as a core component of a new National Engineering and Outside Plant Planning application called VEGA (Verizon Enterprise Geospatial Application). Verizon Communications Inc. is one of the largest Telecommunications Companies in the world with revenues of $88 Billion in 2006.

Delivered as a set of Java Server Page (JSP) tags and an AJAX based development library, the new capabilities allow developers to produce custom applications featuring capabilities such as digitizing, editing, snapping, labeling, undo/redo and multiple selection – all within a browser based application with no plug-ins or ActiveX controls. In addition, data can be exported to a number of common formats including MS-Excel, SVG, PDF & common image formats.

“eSpatial has led the way in delivery of web-based, enterprise grade geospatial applications for many years now” said Philip O’Doherty, CEO eSpatial, “This new capability builds on our successes and takes our technology to the next level bringing this approach to enterprise solutions to deliver

For Immediate Release: URISA

15th June 2007, Cambridge, UK.

1Spatial participated in the first of three thematic meetings focusing on Information Management Standards and Data Quality for ePSIplus in London.

1Spatial were invited to speak on data quality at the event, with a presentation by Steven Ramage entitled ‘Improving Quality for PSI Re-use’. ePSIplus is a Thematic Network, funded by the eContentplus programme, to support the implementation of the European Directive on Public Sector Information (PSI) Re-use, in the period leading up to its review in 2008.

More than 15 Member State representatives from across Europe attended the event. The main objective of the meeting was to gather information from those organisations involved in the public sector across Europe and determine best practice for PSI re-use.

Steven presented case studies from a number of 1Spatial customers in this sector, including AdV Germany, City of Amsterdam, City of Oslo, IGN Belgium, OSNI and the Environment Agency in England and Wales. He covered a number of general issues related to data quality and focussed on spatial data quality since a large percentage of public sector information is geographic in nature; principles from INSPIRE, the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe, also align well with the PSI Directive. He explained some of the challenges faced when aggregating and harmonising spatial data and pointed out the risk management and supply chain considerations when tackling spatial data quality.

Steven Ramage, Business Development Director at 1Spatial, commented:

“It was an honour to speak at such an international gathering. There were some really useful presentations from my co-presenters, such as Mary Rowlatt from Essex County Council and Serge Brack from the Office for Official Publications of the European Communities. There is a great deal of awareness still required in this area and extensive work to be done in determining fitness for purpose for spatial data sets, as well as other sources of public sector information.”

Brian Green, ePSIplus Analyst responsible for Management, Standards and Data Quality, added:

“We are grateful to 1Spatial for an important and meaty contribution to this lively and valuable meeting.
