Property Management Introduction

• Government Agencies require accurate and current land parcel (folio) records

• Need to maintain the ownership and value of properties

• And must accurately map the location and extent of landholdings

Key Requirements for a Property GIS

• Accurate boundary capture and edit tools • Advanced Geometry validation tools e.g. to

prevent parcels overlapping• Integration with Financial Register and

Document Management System • Printing to Land Registry Standards

Web GIS Property Management

• Historically desktop GIS were used to managed property data due to complex nature of property / cadastre workflows

• But today web GIS tools can provide advanced GeoSpatial workflows through the web and mobile clients through products like GeoMedia Smart Client as used by Shannon Airport Authority (formerly Shannon Development)

Web GIS Challenges

• Accurate capture through a browser • Ability to capture data at low scales• Performance of large amounts cadastre data over

the web

Shannon Airport Authority • Shannon Development (now part of Shannon Airport Authority)

required a modern property management solution to manage the property of the Shannon Free Zone

• Solution wanted to move away from their legacy desktop GIS to a modern enterprise solution with a SQL Server 2008 database

• Shannon selected IMGS and GeoMedia Smart Client to provide the Property Management GIS

Smart Client

Administrator Workflow Manager

What is GeoMedia Smart Client• Advanced web editing and workflow optimization• Create customer-specific workflows in an easy way across the

enterprise and into the field • Efficient, map-based tools for editing geometry and attributes,

querying, viewing and printing

GeoMedia Smart Client Key Features

• Feature rich mapping – Java Client• Multi parameter attribute searches • Advanced analysis tools (select, query etc) • Data capture, dimensioning and redlining• Advanced plotting • Supports large data quantities through caching• Active Directory and LDAP security

– Functionality rights – Geographic rights

CAD functions• Easy-to-use (…”only” one optimized possibility)• Snapping (start-/end- point, vertex, mid point, orthogonal, intersection)• Auxiliary constructions (point, distance, polyline, extend-to, arc)• Object relations (parallel to, show relations, use existing geometry)• Capture and editing dialogs (e.g. input of x/y/z, distance lock, angle lock, …)• General functions (e.g. rotate, move, union, split…)
