Enterprise Spatial Integration Tool Set

What are the components of the enterprise spatial integration tool set?

• WIISE (Wireless & Internet Infrastructure Software Environment) is an Internet-based tool for wireless and Web-based solutions, which delivers location-based information to thin-client devices;
• Fire is an advance application development tool set that provides access to spatial data repositories and warehouses.

These tools can integrate distributed data resources, using an Internet solution to display and interact with spatial and attribute data. WIISE includes a graphical interface that allows an administrator to configure spatial and attribute data. The tool kit also includes translators that allow many disparate types of non-spatial and spatial data to be loaded into a spatially-enabled database, such as Oracle 8i/9i.

Once loaded into a database, or distributed databases on a network, or databases connected via the Internet or Intranet, WIISE allows a full range of configuration options, including application of symbology, creation of custom symbology, view thresholds, multiple collections built from spatial layers, and attribute tables (e.g., non-spatial data of any form) gathered as data services from whatever databases are on a network. The attached figure shows an example of a system architecture that uses the integration tool set to provide access to data via standard Web browsers.
