Hi, sorry for the delay. 1. All open source. there is a web interface for NGO to login and create a project eg: livestock here they create the project with attribute info they are sending along with a code to identify location. Here is the list of packages used PHP -> server side scripting PostgreSQL -> database Apache -> web server A GSM modem -> connected with a system (we used Linux) smstools -> read sms from a GSM modem VRParser -> A custom parser developed to parse the SMS and push the data to VRGeo database. NGO's can later login to vrgeo hosted on lsi server and view gis data. Each project comes as a seperate layer and each sms comes as feature on the corresponding layer. a sample sms would look like gac500032.ls.gt.sp.10 the first code is for the location its tied with pincode + three letter from the place, Gachibowli here in example. ls -> live stock gt -> goat sp -> small pox 10 -> affected number but for some cases you can specify decimals using comma 10,5 -> 10.5 used for mapping in borewells we use . (dot) as seperator for fields which is easily accessible on phone with keypad. and , (comma) is used in decimal numbers This is a very simple explanation but I can give you a document explaining everything in detail. I am putting Naveen and Varun in CC who has been in charge of the implementation of the web interface. 2) Interface is automatic. As soon as an SMS is received it is passed to VRParser which parses and pushes the data to an internal database. (we sync these database with the one hosted on server on a periodic basis. (this can be automated using some cron job. But as we are not getting too much data for now, we are doing this sync manually.)
