Integration process status: PentahoBI2, PentahoBI3 and SpagoBI

PentahoBI (2 and 3)

On GeoBI code site there are the following updates to download and try:
  1. GeoReport TOMCAT installation Guide
  2. New GeoReport MapOl module for PentahoBI 2
  3. GeoReport installation guide for PentahoBI 3 (thanks to Martinez Javier)
  4. New GeoReport MapOl module for PentahoBI 3
SpagoBI

Thanks to INOVA-SPAGOBI (Engineering) technological partnership, the integration process between GeoReport and SpagoBI has started as shown in the following picture:


The goal is to include GeoReport (and in the next future also GeOLAP) in SpagoBI as "External Engine"...stay tuned!

GeoReport customization for Public Administrations

GeoReport can be customize for Public Administrations as an information system for both alphanumeric and spatial analysis in order to monitor and locate land abnormalities and interact with other Public or not Public Entities through OGC protocols.
For land abnormalities we mean:
  • abusiveness
  • taxes (dealing with parcels, buildings, families and citizens data)
  • environmental (pollution, ecology and interaction with other Public entities such as Ministeries or other departments)
  • personal safety (using video surveillance systems)
  • public transport using GPS instruments
  • etc..
In the following pictures there is an example for a municipality in the south of Italy regarding parcels (abusiveness, urban destination zones, owners and area calculated respect declared ones). GeoReport Client requests land parcels in GeoJSON to WFS GeoServer while the map is composed of OGC LAYERS such as WMS.





The GeoData WhareHouse is composed of all the data just used by the Public Entity, both alphanumeric and cartographic, such as Registry, Taxes, Cadastre, Orthophotos, Spatial vectorial data, ecc.. and the WebGIS client can display map coming from external entities (public and not public) using OGC standards.
Thanks to OpenLayers and Mapfih with which GeoReport Client is done, the WebGIS is already prepared for advanced functionalities such as:
  • cartographic editing on-line using OGC WFS-T or RestFul technologies ones
  • cartographic processing on-line using OGC WPS or RestFul technologies ones
