Diplomarbeit [thesis] - mobile GIS
 
category: coding / documentation
duration: 3 month, Nov 2003 - Jan 2004

topic mobile bearbeitung und erstellung von geodaten durch satellitengestützte positionsbestimmung [mobile editing and creation of geodata by the use of satellitebased positioning systems]
characteristics:  geographic science, geographic information system (GIS), global positioning system (GPS), java unified mapping platform (jump), geotools 2 (GT2), coordinate transformation, licensing issues
 

The creation of a mobile GIS is the goal of this project documented in the thesis. A set of plugins for jump forms the working application which joins a satellite based positioning determination with basic geographic information system functionality is the result of this work.

The document is separated in chapters where each stands for a different step necessary to realize the mobile GIS software. From chapter one which explains scientific, technical and legal basics over chapter two where the aimed application is analysed on to formulation of abstract and concrete concepts building theoretical foundation for the realisation in chapter four. In chapter five the actual success of the project is evaluated and a summarization of the recent development in (open source) GIS technology is given.
