includes such integrated components as map sharing, audio/video conferencing, real-time chat, georeferenced textual
and graphical annotation.
GIS is the main technology to support public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS).
Various OSGIS, Web GIS, and OSS-based tools and open mapping APIs.
Study focuses on integration of open-source-based groupware solutions on a virtual GIS-based meeting platform.
The objective is to improve/increase participants’ involvement and/or aid decision makers in reaching a final
decision.
BACKGROUND AND LITERATURE REVIEW
Several prototypes.
CSCW technique
GEOWEBEX
Developed from scratch, integrating Google Map API, Open Layers, and flex technologies.
Component also includes chat facility, drawing specific location (point, line, and polygon/area)
GeoWebEX technology would work with the widely used online WebGIS.
SCENARIOS
Scenario-based testing approach is used for the usability evaluation of the GeoWebEX prototype.
GeoWebEX major functions - to determine whether/to what extent these functions meet design objectives and
requirements.
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Participant’s characteristics
Usability indicators
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The editing toolbar is used for the demarcation of point, line, and polygon.
CONCLUSION
Flexible enough that it may work and facilitate in major kinds of e-governance.
