Abstract

This paper presents out researches in the area of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and geovisualization. As one of the results, we will present a solution that consists of geodata styling document repository and editor. This solution is a part of a larger GIS interoperability platform – GeoNis. As a language used for creating geographic data styling documents, we have chosen Symbology Encoding (SE) language proposed by the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) organization. Integrated Symbology Encoding Editor helps users easily create styling documents. Also, each user has the possibility of sharing its styles with other users. Created styles can be downloaded and used in combination with different services to create maps. Presented solution is intended to provide GeoNis interoperability platform the ability to represent geographic information gathered from different sources in a uniform manner.
