The Information Technology has progressed to the open architecture, component, and multimedia services under Internet, ensuring interoperability, reusability, and realtime. The GIS is a system processing geo-spatial information such as natural resources, buildings, roads, and many kinds of facilities in the earth. The spatial information featured by complexity and diversity requires interoperability and reusability of pre-built databases under open architecture. This paper is for the development of component based open GIS Software. The goal of the open GIS component software is a middleware of GIS combining technology of open architecture and component ensuring interoperability of spatial information and reusability of elementary pieces of GIS software. The open GIS component conforms to the distributed open architecture for spatial information proposed by OGC (Open GIS Consortium). The system consists of data provider components, kernel (MapBase) components, clearinghouse components and five kinds of GIS application of local governments. The data provider component places a unique OLE DB interface to connect and access diverse data sources independent of their formats and locations. The MapBase component supports core and common technology of GIS feasible for various applications. The clearinghouse component provides functionality about discovery and access of spatial information under Internet. The system is implemented using ATL/COM and Visual C++ under MicroSoft's Windows environment and consisted of more than 20 components. As we made case study for KSDI (Korea Spatial Data Infrastructure) sharing spatial information between local governments, the advantage of component based open GIS software was proved. Now, we are undertaking another case study for sharing seven kinds of underground facilities using the open GIS component software.

The information system fields of spatial applications have rapidly grown during the last decade in Korea. Spatial data has been produced for a variety of systems without common standards until national GIS Committee defined the data exchange formats among spatial databases in the middle of 1990's. It aimed at promoting data sharing between the different systems in similar application fields. However, a considerable number of databases built prior to the introduction of the standards are not yet standard compliant but still play the roles of the main producers/consumers in the data collection field such as early developed huge AM/FM systems maintained by governmental organizations. The strong autonomy of these databases keeps their own data models, formats and descriptions from being standardized, which leads the sharing to a more difficult stage. Sharing is another way of data acquisition with least efforts and time away from direct collection. A data clearinghouse is the core module which directs users to the relevant data resources. The contents of datasets should be described with predefined metadata standards for precise indexing. Moreover, a number of technical problems have to be resolved for the common use of data between heterogeneous spatial database systems. However, the technical issues can be covered by the present information technologies. The difficulties persist in the political/institutional issues. Institutional issues are derived from the diverse sources such as political background, governmental policies, related laws and/or regulations. The paper will firstly make an analysis of current situation in terms of Korean policies, laws and regulations, secondly abstract the institutional issues from the situation analysis, lastly present guidelines for promoting spatial data sharing in Korea.

According to the development of Internet system recently, we focused in GIS data distribution and applications via internet rather than GIS data construction. Therefore in this paper, we present the necessity of security policy on GTS data. So we analyze the actual condition of GIS data through expert poll. We classify all of data used in GIS with the three security level : high level, middle level, low level. Finally we propose the proper security method on GIS data transfer and on GIS database access in accordance with progree of PKI project.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the way of effective use of spatial data in Busan metropolitan city. To do so, information systems and spatial data established in each department are analyzed. Spatial data distribution networks scattered around the nation are integrated to the national spatial information clearinghouse and the service is expanded for the public and the private sectors to participate. Information systems supplied by the central government are 22 and information systems operating in the Busan Metropolitan City are 168. In addition, there are also 295 types of the thematic maps in 11 fields related to the environment, road transportation, livestock, and etc. For systems integration and management system, an integrated information management and linkage system is required in the near future. In the next logical step, generation of metadata, experiments for effective utilization of spatial data, and construction of the data center should be necessary.

This study intended to show the way of evolving 'National Geographic Information Clearinghouse' to 'National Integrated Geospatial Portal'. For this purpose we have analyzed Geospatial One-Stop Portal in the US and then suggested future model of National Geographic Information Clearinghouse. The Integrated Geospatial Portal model is based on the Reference Model for Open Distributed Processing(RM-ODP) which is an international model for information distribution and sharing. The Integrated Geospatial Portal architecture consists of the data layer, middle-ware, presentation layer. It will help users to determine their fitness for nation wide GIS application and provide tools for accessing, visualizing, or ordering various geospatial data.

There has been significant progress in the method of digital information sharing in recent years. To take advantage of the benefits of XML, OGC developed GML, which is the application of XML in the field of GIS, and released web service Implementation specification for offering GML services. Through the use of GML, therefore, it is possible to expand the methods of sharing geographical information through the Web. This study aims to develop a method to apply GML to improve the geographic information sharing services. GML can be used to effectively offer data in real time so that the currentness of the data can be maintained. This study analysed the architecture of the National Geographic Information Clearinghouse and developed a GML specification and web services that can be used within the existing architecture to expand the services. Based on the specification, this study constructed a prototype system to proved the concept.

This study presents NGDM(National Geospatial Information Distribution Model) in order to effectively utilize and differently apply geospatial information which is important in the dispersion of GIS. In order to establish the NGDM, this study draws the guideline of NGDM in Korea by analyzing its present condition of domestic and foreign geospatial information distribution. It also investigates some major factors forming the infrastructure of NGDM in regulative, technical, physical, and social aspects. Based on these factors, this study presents a three-staged NGDM that is applicable in Korea. The NGDM consists of four components that are the consumer, supplier, gateway for the clearinghouse and the clearinghouse of the geospatial information. According to the management form of geospatial information, the types of NGDM are classified as the concentration type, the distribution type, and compound type. Also, this study explains the mutual relationship between the NGDM's components and suggests a three-staged NGDM of planting, growth, and maturity period considering comparison results of classified models and development direction of regulation, protocol, communication network, electronic commerce, and etc.

지리 정보 시스템의 발전으로 공간 데이터의 수요가 늘어남에 따라 공간 데이터의 공급자들이 늘어나고 있다. 일반적으로 공간 데이터의 공급자는 수요자의 요구에 맞는 형식을 사용하여 공간 데이터를 생산한다. 그래서, 생산된 공간 데이터는 다양한 플랫폼에서 다양한 형식으로 저장된다. 최근들어 분산환경에서 다양한 플랫폼에 저장된 공간 데이터를 효율적으로 접근하기 위하여 공간 정보유통의 필요성이 증대되었고 OpenGIS Consortium(OGC)은 공간 데이터의 상호호환성을 위해 ISO와 협력하며 국제 표준화를 추진중이다. 본 논문에서는 공간 정보유통 중 공간 데이터 접근을 위해 OGC의 Simple Features Specification for CORBA 표준을 기반으로 ESRI사의 공간 데이터 저장 형식인 Shape 파일을 위한 CORBA 데이터 프로바이더를 구현한다. CORBA는 언어와 플랫폼에 독립적으로서 분산환경에서의 상호운용성을 제공하고, 특히 Java와 결합하면 웹 브라우저를 통해 어떤 플랫폼에서든지 사용 가능하다. 그러므로, Shape 파일에 대한 CORBA 서버를 개발함으로써 플랫폼에 종속되지 않는 공간 데이터의 접근을 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 설계시 고려사항 및 구현 방법에 대해 살펴보고 OGC 표준을 구현하면서 발견된 문제점 및 성능 향상을 위한 방법에 대해서도 언급하여 다른 공간 데이터 형식을 위한 CORBA 서버를 개발할 때 참조할 수 있도록 한다.
