Designing and Performing Geographic Analysis Processes with GISCASE

This work presents GISCASE, an UML CASE tool based on the conceptual framework GeoFrame-A to aid GIS users to model their geographical analysis processes. Starting from a graphical specification of the geographic process, the tool generates an XML intermediate code free of platform and then creates the specific programs for a GIS system. In addition, GISCASE is entirely developed using free software and technologies, independent of GIS platform and has a modular architecture, which means it is easy to develop modules to support a wide range of GIS Software.Pages: 82-9
