“…To this end, we present a privacy-access framework that proposes an opportunity to maximise the possibilities to better understand the geography of health while mitigating adverse effects of releasing individuallevel data. There is a plethora of research demonstrating the value of spatial data in a population health context [3,5,10,20,22,25,26,39,41,46,54,55,57,59,[61][62][63]69,70], yet the use of large, anonymised datasets is in its relative infancy. While each data provider has policies (e.g.…”

“…Similar developments have been observed in the development of Open Source GIS. As Evans and Sabel [25] have demonstrated, extensive spatial analytical functionality can now be incorporated to webGIS. For example, MySQL and PostgreSQL, (coupled with PostGIS) are two popular open source database management systems (DBMS) widely used for GIS applications These DBMS may be integrated with the MapServer (http://www.mapserver.org) and GeoServer (http://www.geoserver.org) packages to provide open source WebGIS, with limited functionality.…”

“Whose data is it anyway?” The implications of putting small area-level health and social data online

a b s t r a c tData from electronic patient management systems, routine national health databases, and social administrative systems have increased significantly over the past decade. These data are increasingly used to create maps and analyses communicating the geography of health and illness. The results of these analyses can be easily disseminated on the web often without due consideration for the identification, access, ethics, or governance, of these potentially sensitive data. Lack of consideration is currently proving a deterrent to many organisations that might otherwise provide data to central repositories for invaluable social science and medical research. We believe that exploitation of such data is needed to further our understanding of the determinants of health and inequalities. Therefore, we propose a geographical privacy-access continuum framework, which could guide data custodians in the efficient dissemination of data while retaining the confidentiality of the patients/individuals concerned. We conclude that a balance of restriction and access is needed allowing linkage of multiple datasets without disclosure, enabling researchers to gather the necessary evidence supporting policy changes or complex environmental and behavioural health interventions.

“…Two open source spatial database servers: MySQL and PostgreSQL/PostGIS are popular for database management systems (DBMS). Although both database systems are very powerful in spatial support systems, PostgreSQL/PostGIS seems to have a larger range of spatial functionality (Cross Compare, 2012) and is used by many recent Web GIS solutions (Anderson et al, 2008;Evans and Sabel, 2012;Greene et al, 2007;MacEachren et al, 2008;Toutant et al, 2011). This geodatabase server was therefore chosen for implementation.…”

ABSTRACT:Heritage documentation has become increasingly urgent due to both natural impacts and human influences. The documentation of countless heritage sites around the globe is a massive project that requires significant amounts of financial and labour resources. With the concepts of volunteered geographic information (VGI) and citizen science, heritage data such as digital photographs can be collected through online crowd participation. Whilst photographs are not strictly geographic data, they can be geo-tagged by the participants. They can also be automatically geo-referenced into a global coordinate system if collected via mobile phones which are now ubiquitous. With the assistance of web-mapping, an online geo-crowdsourcing platform has been developed to collect and display heritage structure photographs. Details of platform development are presented in this paper. The prototype is demonstrated with several heritage examples. Potential applications and advancements are discussed.

“…Work has been done to map planning [3], marketing [4], retail [5], transportation [6], traffic [7], tourism [8], natural resources [9], real estate [10], agriculture [11] and healthcare [12] on the map and giving details about the facilities available there. On similar lines there are websites which give information about the colleges.…”

There are many courses available after completion of secondary education in India. These courses are provided by colleges which are affiliated to universities or these can be standalone institutes. The decision to choose from these courses depends on many criteria. These criteria include interest of student, job opportunities, cost, location etc. Based on the need of society, a web portal is designed that will help student to make good decision about their education.
