  • Bei Geodaten sind offene Kartensysteme auf dem Vormarsch

    "Datenbanken können Geodaten heute problemlos verarbeiten, aber die entscheidende Plattform ist das World Wide Web", sagte Professor Klaus Greve vom Geographischen Institut der Universität Bonn auf der ersten Deegree-Tagung in Bonn. Deegree ist ein vor fünf Jahren vom Bonner Institut gegründetes Open-Source-Projekt für Geoinformationsdaten, das die bislang umfangreichste Implementierung von Standards des Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) und der Internationalen Standardisierungsorganisation ISO vorweisen kann. Laut Greve gibt es bereits Projekte in Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien und Brasilien. Eingesetzt werden sie unter anderem bereits von fünf Kommunen in Deutschland, aber auch der Welternährungsorganisation FAO. Außerdem setzt das OGC Deegree als Referenzimplementierung für den Webmapping-Service ein.
