ZAPATA JARAMILLO, Carlos Mario; GONZALEZ CALDERON, Guillermo  and  MARIN MORALES, María Isabel. A case study on interoperability between geographic information systems. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.15, suppl.1, pp.11-20. ISSN 1692-3324.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) require interoperability (capacity for sharing data and processes) due to the big amount of information. This information should be supplemented in order to make analysis, prediction processes, and socioeconomic studies, among others. Despite the efforts for standardizing GIS development, interoperability between ancient GIS still has problems: data and process structure are different for every GIS and data size makes the migration of data to standard structures difficult. The above reasons lead us to propose, in this scientific and technological research paper, a case study for better understanding GIS interoperability.

Keywords : interoperability; geographic information system; raster format; vector format; time series.
