eSpatial and Laser-Scan Offer SpatialTrust

Laser-Scan (UK) and eSpatial (Ireland) announced an extension to their existing collaboration to jointly develop and promote SpatialTrust. Built on the combined components of iSMART5 and Radius Studio, the offering provides for an Enterprise Class architecture underpinned by Oracle Spatial and Oracle Application Server 10g.

Through iSMART’s data management, dissemination and maintenance capability, married with Radius Studio’s rules-based conformance and fixing capabilities, it is possible to deliver trusted spatial data across the enterprise. The flexibility of both platforms enables the solution to be shaped to any domain specific, data cleaning workflow and manage historical data quality issues in a centrally controlled environment. Once certified for quality the data can support enterprise decision making for spatial technologies.

The SpatialTrust solution enables the following key activities: discovery of available data across an enterprise; access to data from source and transformation as required; aggregation of a data sources into a usable format; quality certification of the data including the process of rule generation, automated & manual fixing and on going conformance checks delivering data quality certification, and controlled dissemination of the data to users and applications
