Tamil Nadu Geo-Informatics System(TNGIS)of

Tamil Nadu State Spatial Data Infrastructure (TNSSDI)

(State Spatial Data Repository)

TNGIS Project – 1/2Objectives: The following are the activities covered under TNGIS Development and implementation:• Ratification of the standards:• Scale – 1:50,000 (to start with)• Datum – World Geodetic System 84 (WGS 84)• Projection – Traverse Mercator (TM).

• Identification and Classification of layers and segregation of layers for public domain and closed domain including authentication mechanism.

• Spatial Data Procurement and Collation - collate and consolidate layers from various Departments at appropriate scales and study the requirements and appropriate integration, etc.


TNGIS Project – 2/2

Objectives (continued..) • Attribute Data Integration - Integration of already available datasets including Population Census, Agriculture department, Public Health, Rural Development data, Economics and Statistics etc.

• Hardware and Software – build necessary infrastructure in place for proper access and usage of GIS across various Departments.

• Generic GIS Web Interface – Standards based Web GIS adopted as the technology to provide interface for the various datasets, keeping in mind the large number of users who would show interest to view the same.

• Deployment and Capacity Building – TNGIS is a continuous process as the needs would keep growing horizontally and vertically. Sensitization and training programs keep the number of GIS users on increase.


Advantages of the Application


• To enable applications to use Geo Spatial Services effectively for geographic representation of their data from any Platform / Technology ensuring following advantages:

• Without physical sharing of GIS datasets• Use by application developers without GIS skillsets • Interoperable with heterogeneous databases (spatial / non-spatial)

• Compliant with OGC specifications

Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)


• Sharing the Spatial data across the organization / websites for various security reasons by retaining map data at the source itself.

• Enables easy administration of maps (as the changes on maps would be required only once and in only one database)

• Since the map rendering is Service Oriented, the backend technologies do not matter. Interoperability is achieved using XML technologies.

• Technology being leveraged by Application developers who have very little knowledge of GIS; That is, the development team from the concerned department need not be aware of the finer details of GIS technology

• Fully compliant with the Open Geospatial Consortium Standards being proposed by the OGC

• Supports a distributed architecture


Architecture


Spatial Data Infrastructure


Technology used

• Application was Developed on Completely Free/Open Source Software:• GeoServer (Geospatial Services)• PostgreSQL/PostGIS for Spatial & Attribute database• PHP / GeoExt / OpenLayers/Leaflet for frontend design and development

• Open Source Desktop GIS software gvSIG / QGIS• The entire application was build based on the OGC Compliant Geospatial Web Services Open Source software

Tamil Nadu GIS Implementation Stage – 1/2• TN State Government has setup a State Spatial Data Infrastructure – TNGIS under IT & Planning Department

• Tamil Nadu e-Governance Agency has the repository of the Spatial Data

• Many Departments’ layers at various scales are being collated by TNeGA about 80 number of layers

• TNGIS Web based GIS framework for all State Departments’ requirements is nearing completions

• Base layers from nodal deptts. are available that can be seamlessly integrated with any other spatial datasets.


• Common Sensitization Workshops for Spatial Data & Attribute Data codes Standardization by all Departments for their respective layers

• Training for User Departments on GIS / TNGIS for their own Spatial Data Updating and providing value addition on other department Layers and further enrichment of TNGIS.

• Training to the various Departments on both Code Mapping / Spatial Data Editing.


Tamil Nadu GIS Implementation Stage - 2/2

GIS Plans / Goals of the State• Scaling up TNGIS for the domain specific utility• Design and Development deptt. Specific applications and the related tools

• Capacity Building in a continuous manner for general GIS concepts to the deptt. Officials as they are frequently shifted from one deptt. to another

• Nodal officers of the respective deptt. need to be trained on intensive domain specific tools and applications.


Support Desired from DeitY• DeitY can provide the following support on TNGIS:–GIS framework enhancement–Capacity building w.r.t. general GIS concepts and domain specific applications–Proof of Concept Studies– GIS application development / enhancement
