Hello,
I am interested in any technical or general information related to the use
of GIS in agricultural planning.
In Scotland we are making extensive use of GIS in agricultural planning.
The system we have in place only enables remote users to read spatial and
non-spatial data held on a central server. The GIS is also put to limited
use at the moment in terms of user analysis functionality.
We are currently reviewing this system.
I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has any information
or advice concerning the use of GIS in the capture of spatial data over a
WAN as well as in the management and analysis of agricultural data.
Users experiences, pointers to relevant literature, anything related would
be welcome.
On the general level I am interested in information (including links)
related to:
- Agricultural Field digitisation programmes
- Agricultural production monitoring and modelling
I have a number of specific technical questions:
- Can Wide Area Networks enable remote users to digitise and manipulate
geographical polygon objects held centrally on a Server and cope with up to
30 concurrent users?
- Is it possible to prevent 30 dispersed users editing the same
geographical polygon object?
- Is it possible to ensure that users see the most up to date data?
- Is it possible to prevent users digitising the same polygon twice?
Creating slivers etc?
- What software and hardware would be needed for an optimum system?
We are currently using ArcView and SDE
- What network, server and client-side performance is required?
Many Thanks
John Clarke
