Use of Geospatial Technologies

The NATMO geoportal demonstrates a vivid instance of integration with Geospatial technologies with a unique flavour of cartographic representations. All spatial datasets and their attributes are subjected to statistical data processing focussed on the thematic information chosen, wherever the case may be, to reflect select maps and themes.

Improved User Interface through Coding Schema: The database Coding Schema conveys the constraints that apply to the stored data. Each element or feature taken up as a mapping entity has been placed under suitable groups for the convenience of coding and assigned a specific ID so that the constraints can be easily defined, viewed, and tabled.

Foundation Set for Logical and Physical Data Models: A Conceptual Data Model was created by identifying the themes that were part of an atlas, e.g., the National School Atlas. This further served as the basis for the logical and physical data models to create the NSA Map service. While the logical data model describes themes in as much detail as possible without regard to their physical implementation, the physical model serves as the final output for users to access digital information. It takes on the form of maps or any other standard format as per OGC standards.
