Dynamic Data-Model Datastructure and Applications generated from Interface-structure - INTERLIS (. ILI) - GML 3 - UML - Other modelling Tools -Topology -History (long Transactions) -Specific Feature-Types -3 D -Splines -Raster -Different coordinate systems -Different languages -Display-Model Advantages Flexible Data-Model Can be extendet very simple (by customer) RAD (rapid application development) Risks We need well-defined interface Too many different models Data modeling is not easy What can be done (not done) with the interface

My wishes…. Make ONE specification (data-model, interface) Use newest technology Create nice data-models – Do not change it too often Work together with GIS-developers – Think about different GIS-implementations Force people to use this only data model

Thank you very much !
