A Software Reference Architecture for Service-Oriented 3D Geovisualization Systems

Abstract: Modern 3D geovisualization systems (3DGeoVSs) are complex and evolving systems that are required to be adaptable and leverage distributed resources, including massive geodata. This article focuses on 3DGeoVSs built based on the principles of service-oriented architectures, standards and image-based representations (SSI) to address practically relevant challenges and potentials. Such systems facilitate resource sharing and agile and efficient system construction and change in an interoperable manner, while expl… Show more

“…The validity of our study has been supported by other case studies that focus on the design, development and analysis of user-centered, novel collaborative geovisualization tools [68][69][70]. Studies are consistent in that an easy-to-use graphical user interface, decision support based on spatial data and the integration of data into other platforms are essential for efficient geovisualization [69,70].…”

“…The validity of our study has been supported by other case studies that focus on the design, development and analysis of user-centered, novel collaborative geovisualization tools [68][69][70]. Studies are consistent in that an easy-to-use graphical user interface, decision support based on spatial data and the integration of data into other platforms are essential for efficient geovisualization [69,70]. However, it should be underlined that while innovative geovisualization web applications published on the basis of current trends are supported by a wide range of standards, development tools and frameworks, the inclusion of the latest IT technologies (Big Data, Cloud, Artificial Intelligence) offers an interesting research challenge.…”

“…These WebGIS technologies include not only commercial software programs but also free and open-source software programs, which provide flexibility for different users [36]. Lastly, recent advances in geovisualization provide new methods to visualize geospatial data in a three-dimensional (3D) environment [37]. Visualizing construction costs in a 3D environment holds the potential to identify many patterns that have been impossible in a traditional 2D environment.…”

“…These can be used without any restrictions by researchers to implement dedicated tools to study the numerous inter-linked dynamics that concur to shape our planet's ecology. The importance of visual representation of modelled dynamics is just as important as analyzing them, as discussed by [4,5].…”
