Development of a mobile solution for spatial data collection using open source technologies
Information technologies (ITs), and sports resources and services aid the potential to
transform governmental organizations, and play an important role in contributing to
sustainable communities development, respectively. Spatial data is a crucial source
to support sports planning and management. Low-cost mobile geospatial tools bring
productive and accurate data collection, and their use combining a handy and customized
graphical user interface (GUI) (forms, mapping, media support) is still in an
early stage. Recognizing the benefits — efficiency, effectiveness, proximity to citizens
— that Mozambican Minister of Youth and Sports (MJD) can achieve with information
resulted from the employment of a low-cost data collection platform, this project
presents the development of a mobile mapping application (app) — m-SportGIS —
under Open Source (OS) technologies and a customized evolutionary software methodology.
The app development embraced the combination of mobile web technologies and
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) (e.g. Sencha Touch (ST), Apache Cordova,
OpenLayers) to deploy a native-to-the-device (Android operating system) product, taking
advantage of device’s capabilities (e.g. File system, Geolocation, Camera). In addition
to an integrated Web Map Service (WMS), was created a local and customized
Tile Map Service (TMS) to serve up cached data, regarding the IT infrastructures limitations
in several Mozambican regions. m-SportGIS is currently being exploited by
Mozambican Government staff to inventory all kind of sports facilities, which resulted
and stored data feeds a WebGIS platform to manage Mozambican sports resources
Integration und Konnexion : Tagungsband zur 26. AKWI-Jahrestagung vom 15. bis 18.09.2013 an der Technischen Hochschule Mittelhessen
Das aufgerufene Thema „Herausforderungen an die Wirtschaftsinformatik: Integration und Konnexion“ provozierte Beiträge, die thematisch ein sehr breites Spektrum abdecken. Neben theoretischen Betrachtungen und Definitionen des sicher noch nicht final geprägten Begriffs der Konnexion gab es auch sehr praktische Beiträge wie die Darstellung von konkreten prototypischen Entwicklungsvorhaben. Auch das ist ein Indiz für die lebendige Landschaft der Wirtschaftsinformatik an den deutschsprachigen Hochschulen für Angewandte Wissenschaften
