Lower Silesia, the seat of local government, performs legislative, but also information functions. Implementation of the Province Integrated Information System (DSIP) was begun in 2000. The system serves as a regional information link, providing information about municipal boundaries, road networks, natural features, and other geospatial data to support governmental decision making.

With an Oracle Spatial-based repository of geospatial data for the province, Bentley Web Publisher can display spatial and attribute data across the intranet and Internet. This provides wide access to the data for the government and the public.

Local government can now rely on current and accurate data. There is no need to wait days and weeks to transfer information and redlines from maps into the database. The integration of digital data eliminates errors, promotes a modern, paperless environment, and is a big step forward in e-government.

The benefits reach far beyond any particular financial investment or single jurisdiction. Data sharing reduces data development and acquisition costs, which results in savings for taxpayers. Moreover, widespread geospatial data sharing helps improve the efficiency and quality of decisions made by local governments in Lower Silesia. ;

MANAGED ENVIRONMENT

Archive Plan Conversion
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet

Digital InterPlot will be used to create multi-page PDF files from the TIFF files. The PDF files will then be stored in the specified

KYTC project folder and be spatially located on the KYTC base map. Project completion is expected by December 2006.

Currently, searching the microfilm archive takes hours or days, when it is successful. The user must visit a KYTC office to access the archives, and may have to make several visits.

In the new managed environment, the information can be searched, located, retrieved, and printed in less than ten minutes. Once completed, the archive will be accessible on the Web, eliminating the need for travel. ;
