Just a few days from a long trip to London and then Amsterdam, let’s take a look at what the Danish might impress us that this time comes together as finalists.
The finalists in the Government and Geospatial issue
GeoSite a Denmark company will present a smoke using connection via mobile, via web services that interacts on both tracks. From the field, it can be captured data such as photographs and xfm attributes to be sent via wireless to MicroStation and also from here answer well. The best is that it is an implementation of municipal approach.
They will make a presentation on 19 at 11 am.
IT Developer, also Danish, will display a cadastral application development by using Web Feature Service (WFS) standard.
This really looks interesting, considering that for this to work, they will have had to put the data in Geospatial Server via idpr (hopefully, not via Project Wise). It should be from the first applications on xfm exploiting this standard, and certainly that is the way because until now the xfm remains a very special Bentley’s thing although it takes several years to exist and supports the standard. Web Map Service is seen as very common; this in good Spanish means that it can show the map as an image and as a review option attribute, but WFS involves to bring the vector layer with its attributes table under the OGC standard which can recognize any other program like ArcGIS, gvSIG, etc.
Both will make a half-hour presentation on October 19 between 11:00 and 12:00 am. I guess their English will sound more German, and in those Asterix’s books in Germany. Tvilum Landinspektørfirma.
The other finalist is also Danish, which competes with his 3D model on the fly. It seems he won’t have an exhibition, but surely will participate in the theme table.
In my opinion, the WFS will take the prize.
The countries from the finalists
From the Latin American environment just Venezuela and Brazil, both in the power generation plants topic; those joined with United States totalize 11 in the Americas. The rest are, 21 from Europe, 14 Asian, 2 African and 1 in Oceania as shown in the following table.
