Dynamic Data-Model

Datastructure and Applications generated from Interface-structure- INTERLIS (.ILI)- GML 3- UML- Other modelling Tools

AdvantagesFlexible Data-ModelCan be extendet very simple (by customer)RAD (rapid application development)

-Topology-History (long Transactions)-Specific Feature-Types

-3D-Splines-Raster

-Different coordinate systems-Different languages-Display-Model

RisksWe need well-defined interfaceToo many different modelsData modeling is not easyWhat can be done (not done) with the interface

Make ONE specification (data-model, interface)

Use newest technology

Create nice data-models– Do not change it too often

Work together with GIS-developers– Think about different GIS-implementations

Force people to use this only data model

My wishes….

Thank you very much !
