Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the architectural and functional characteristics of e-SpatialTM technology, comprising an innovative software package that represents a timely alternative to traditional and complex proprietary GIS application packages. The two main components of the package, developed by e-Spatial Solutions Ltd., are the iSMARTTM database development technology and the i-SpatialTM Information Server (iSIS), both implemented within an Oracle 9i spatial database environment. This technology allows users to build and deploy spatially-enabled or standard Internet applications without requiring any application-specific source code. It can be deployed on any Oracle-supported hardware platform and on any device that supports the Java Virtual Machine, thus providing full support for wireless, PDA and other mobile devices
