Utsav, The most important component missing from your proposal are thoughts on the front end tools that will allow users to enter and edit complex geometries. You are right to point out that our backend architecture is already capable of storing and validating geometries of any complexity - the real challenge here is in building a UI that gives mere mortals a chance of actually digitizing them.
Having some experience with desktop GIS tools like ArcGIS or Quantum GIS may come in handy here because it will give you ideas of how manual capture is handled in GIS desktop applications. The key will (again) be to not duplicate the desktop GIS workflows - which are built for people with "GIS" in their job title - but instead develop workflows that are possible for a non-GIS expert to execute in a web browser. -- Adam Lodge Geospatial Systems Consultant Farallon Geographics On Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 7:12 PM, Utsav wrote: > > > > Hiii > > I have been reading a lot to get a better understanding of handling complex > geometries. > > As we can see from the Arches development > (http://archesproject.org/development/) link, Arches is a stack of > PostGIS,Geoserver,ExtJS and Openlayers. > > This Architecture (http://i.imgur.com/Ev7uWSJ.png) will be best suited to > make a complete web app for handling complex geometries. > > Briefly their functions will be: > > Postgis: A geospatial database that makes it easy to process spatial geometry > data.Postgis has a whole lot of functions that make it easy to support > handling geometries and no other database can handle geometrical data better. > > Geoserver:This is a server which is made for handling map and spatial > information. > > GeoWebCache : This makes it faster to load images by caching the map images > > GeoExt + Openlayers + Extjs : This is the user interface for the browser > which is used for displaying and collecting user from the user. > > Also i have uploaded my Proposal (http://goo.gl/GtuU5u) quite a long time > ago,which describes the intricacies of my idea. > Please provide some feedback. > > About handling 3d objects,i did some research on that too,i found resource > materials to handle that .... > > This link (http://workshops.boundlessgeo.com/tutorial-lidar/) describes quite > intricately how we can enable 3d objects for the above architecture. > > On the whole,this project seems quite exciting. :) > -- > -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com > (mailto:archesproject@googlegroups.com).
