Enhanced solution enables users to publish simple-to-use applications

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., December 19, 2012 – Intergraph® announces the release of Geospatial Portal 2013 as part of Intergraph Geospatial Portfolio 2013. Intergraph's powerful set of server solutions is now harmonized on the front end by one, integrated web client. Geospatial Portal is a full-blown application that provides both a web client and framework to find, build, exploit, and deliver geospatial web applications and solutions across the enterprise. In addition, Geospatial Portal can also connect to and provide the front end for other web services within the enterprise. With Geospatial Portal, it is now simpler and more convenient for users to share maps and services with others inside and outside of the organization.

"The new Geospatial Portal unites the power of all of your organization's enterprise solutions via one, unified thin client" said Mladen Stojic, Vice President – Geospatial, Intergraph. "In addition, users now have the ability to more easily configure and customize various portals, allowing them to maximize their geospatial data."

Geospatial Portal 2013 removes the barriers associated with typical geoportal creation. Its powerful browser application allows users to visualize and share accurate geospatial data to collaborate with government agencies, commercial businesses, and the public. Installed and configured on a web application server, Geospatial Portal 2013 enables multiple users to access the site via web browsers. Geospatial Portal is the ideal mechanism for finding, viewing, and querying geospatial data published with standard SDI web services. It also integrates multiple sources into a single map view for easier navigation.

Key features of the Geospatial Portal 2013 include:

  • New administration console for a more streamlined workflow: A single place for users to create and configure all aspects of server-side engines, web services and web applications.

  • Connectivity to OGC and INSPIRE-compliant web service: Quality monitoring capabilities are provided.

  • Ability to run on mobile devices: Simplified interface when viewed with a mobile device.

  • Connectivity to ERDAS APOLLO: Consume and view data and services, browse and search the catalog, download and clip datasets, and create value-added data products on demand.

  • Connectivity to GeoMedia WebMap: Access geospatial data managed by GeoMedia with GeoMedia WebMap Publisher Portal.

Intergraph officially launched Intergraph Geospatial 2013 on December 10, 2012. The united portfolio includes new releases of GeoMedia®, ERDAS IMAGINE, LPS, ImageStation, ERDAS APOLLO, GeoMedia Smart Client, GeoMedia Web Map, Geospatial Portal, and Geospatial SDI. In this modern and dynamic release, users will be able to discover and exploit the wealth of information contained in data from any source, share it rapidly (and securely), and deliver it on demand as reliable and actionable information to drive smarter decisions.

Journal News Removes Interactive Gun Permit Map

The Lower Hudson Journal News has been under fire for publishing a map of gun permit holders in two counties in New York State  before Christma. (APB coverage 1, 2, podcast). On Friday January 18 the paper removed the interactive map. Why? Publisher Janet Hasson gave answers in a media statement and in a letter to readers.

In a statement in response to The Poynter Institute (a journalism school) she argued:

With the passage this week of the NYSAFE gun law, which allows permit holders to request their names and addresses be removed from the public record, we decided to remove the gun permit data from lohud.com at 5 pm today. While the new law does not require us to remove the data, we believe that doing so complies with its spirit. For the past four weeks, there has been vigorous debate over our publication of the permit data, which has been viewed nearly 1.2 million times by readers. One of our core missions as a newspaper is to empower our readers with as much information as possible on the critical issues they face, and guns have certainly become a top issue since the massacre in nearby Newtown, Conn. Sharing as much public information as possible provides our readers with the ability to contribute to the discussion, in any way they wish, on how to make their communities safer. We remain committed to our mission of providing the critical public service of championing free speech and open records.

In a letter to readers published on Friday she wrote:

So intense was the opposition to our publication of the names and addresses that legislation passed earlier this week in Albany included a provision allowing permit holders to request confidentiality and imposing a 120-day moratorium on the release of permit holder data.

She goes on to say that during the 27 days the map was online any one interested would have seen it and that the data would eventually be out of date. She also noted that the paper does not endorse the way the state chose to limit availability of the data.

The original map/article still includes a graphic - but it's a snapshot, a raster image, with no interactivity. Says Hasson in the letter to readers:

 And we will keep a snapshot of our map — with all its red dots — on our website to remind the community that guns are a fact of life we should never forget.

I continue to applaud the paper for requesting the data via a Freedom on Informat request, mapping it, keeping the map up despite threats and criticism and now responding to state law. I think the paper did a service to the state, to citizens and to journalism.
