GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) WEB SERVER FOR BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT: Ecological
protection strategies, designed by sharing information and integrating data,
play an important role in defining interconnections and interdependencies in
research as well as in increasing global awareness. The Geographic Information
System (GIS) web server is one technology solution to improve the interoperability
and sharing between the biodiversity databases of an organization and the
databases of other research groups. In this paper, a database system
integration framework based on GIS technology and a GIS server system using the
latest cloud-based technology have been developed to incorporate biodiversity
databases in Asian region. A GIS server is a GIS web platform integrating
multiple geodatabases and provides data display and query, allowing users to
apply internet browsers to manipulate the functions and query the data, etc. To
demonstrate the effectiveness of a GIS web server, plant biodiversity survey
dataset of Mt. Gede-Pangrango, West Java in Indonesia, was given as a case
study for development and utilization of biodiversity information system in Asian
region.
