Situation: 

Regione Toscana founded a regional project named iter.net (http://www.iternet.fi.eng.it/SigmaPortal2) to set up a communication infrastructure that allows toponymy data transfer from Local Entities to Regione Toscana itself, using regional transfer infrastructure known as CART (http://www.cart.rete.toscana.it).

As a strategic component of such a design, Regione Toscana needed an application to enable Local Entities to manage road network and street numbers and to transfer updates through CART.

Solution: 

gvSIG was selected as the frame work to develop iter.GIS, that is mainly an extension to gvSIG itself enabling:

  • road handling;

  • street numbers management;

  • topological requirement compliance;

  • model adherence;

  • updates forwarding through web services.

gvSIG was enhanced in its PostgreSQL interface and tailorized to small Municipality needs using guided interfaces (wizards) to enable GIS-unaware users to accomplish the goal of updating road network and street numbers.

Benefits: 

iter.GIS main benefits are:

  • model homogenization, thanks adherence to iter.net project whose data model derived from Italian “Intesta Stato-Regione-Enti Locali” board, itself based of European model INSPIRE;

  • task simplification, enabling users to correctly modify road network and street numbers without requiring a strong GIS knowledge.
