GeoPortal Advantages
• Search & Discovery Finding the geospatial information you need in many
ways from many sources
• Collaboration Connecting geospatial information suppliers to users
• Categorization Organizing geospatial content into channels that
people commonly use
• Aggregation Composing live maps from many distributed web map
services

GeoPortal Value Proposition
• To improve the relationships between end-users, partners, and suppliers of geospatial information
• To improve the quality of service provided to end-users and partners
• To improve operational efficiency by stimulating self-service

‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites
• At the Content Management Layer Technologies that support the publishing,
management and retrieval of information
• Opportunities: Support a user-defined geographic constraint to
searches performed against structured or unstructured sources [ keyword(s) + bounding box ]

‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites
• At the Identity Layer Technologies that support the personalization of
content and presentation to the needs of each user
• Opportunities: Filter pertinent news/information to one’s registered
Area-Of-Interest (AOI)
Alerts - automatic email delivery of public notices relevant to one’s registered Area-Of-Interest (AOI)

‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites
• At the Integration Layer Technologies used to integrate the portal with the rest
of the technology infrastructure
• Opportunities: spatial adapters to
providegeo-validation services

‘Geo’ supports Portal Sites
• At the Management Layer Technologies supporting the management of the portal
and understanding its usage
• Opportunities: Business Intelligence
• Where are the users from ?
• What are the areas of interest?

Summary
• GIS Technology is very pertinent to Portal implementations
• GeoPortals are poised to be the next generation online presence for partnerships
• GeoPortals in advance of a Corporate eGov Portal is possible and can be strategic
• End-user value of GIS technology is likely most perceived at the presentation layer
