Conceptual Design of Service-Based Geospatial Information System

Abstract

At the present time, geospatial information systems are widely used for diverse spatial related decision-making processes.The power of these systems comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context, placing the information at a given reference system, and reaching conclusions about the relationships.Different types of such systems are designed at national, regional and local level considering the objectives of the target projects or purposes of the implementing agencies.Database structures of the systems can be extremely complex or very simple depending upon the functions of the organizations and user requirements.The aim of this study is to describe a conceptual framework and system design related to the service-based geospatial information system in Mongolia.
