GEOGRAPHIC BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods for managing geographical data structures. An administrator system (11) identifies geographic data structures (12) deemed to be of interest to an organization. Associated reference information (22) is compiled which includes retrieval addresses and display information. The administrator can establish relationships between the referenced geographic data structures (12), tabular data (14), or other data (18), which defines the manner to display the multiple data structures. These relationships can be expressed in geographic themes that specify geographic and tabular data structures that can be displayed by an associated application (18). Any user system (21) selects geographic information of interest to the user. A user application (20) receives the address information and display information from an administrator application (10) and establishes communication to retrieve the relevant geographic data structures. Using the display information the user application displays the relevant geographic data structures. Users with access credentials assigned by the administrator may edit displayed data.
