Geoinformation systems

The Geo Information Systems project group designs and develops object-oriented data models and data exchange standards in the CAD and GIS areas. Specification is achieved by means of UML and XML methods and tools. Tools for conversion and visualization are developed in connection with standardization.

These are the main areas of activity:

• Geodata and CAD standards (ALKIS, GML, CityGML, XPlanung, IFC),
• E-Government applications,
• OGC web services (WMS, WFS),
• Internet-supported visualization of two-dimensional space-related data by SVG,
• Visualization of three-dimensional space-related data,
• Combination of CAAD and GIS technologies,
• Interoperability, interface technology,
• Object-oriented modeling by UML and XML,
• Zoning.

Activities are embedded in these two standardization projects:
