Interoperability GIS Model and It's Implementation Approach on the Architecture of Spatial Information Infrastructure[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 1999, 4(11): 991. DOI: 10.11834/jig.1999011235.
Increasing application of Geospatial information requires integration
fusion and interoperability of current monolithic GIS
especially of more complex and multidisciplinary application. Interoperability is the base for information integration and fusion. A five level GIS interoperability model is given. The spatial information infrastructure (SII) provides a sharing spatial information framework
architecture and an interoperability platform for geographical information system. This paper studies architecture of spatial information infrastructure
and gives the relationship between GIS interoperability model and spatial information infrastructure architecture. We consider GIS interoperability model provides theory base for SII
and SII provides an implementation platform for GIS interoperability model.
