IDV Solutions releases SpatialWiki
09 October 2008, 3:33pm
IDV Solutions today released SpatialWiki, a
collaborative site to create, store, and share geographic information using IDV’s rich internet application (RIA) technology. SpatialWiki is an Enterprise 2.0 offering for visual collaboration, deployable within SharePoint or with cloud-based storage. The wiki offers users a number of great benefits including the ability to create custom geospatial shapes on a map, search and view shared geography, and export files.
SpatialWiki, today released in Beta, is built on Silverlight 2.0 and Virtual Earth, and stores user-contributed data in the cloud via Microsoft’s new SQL Server Data Services. The wiki incorporates fast graphic rendering and best practices for map isplay, allowing users
to draw and edit map content and output shape files as KML or as spatially enabled SQL Server 2008 scripts. Innovations like the globe rotation option provide another degree of freedom for navigation and drawing.
“We are excited to offer this visual wiki experience as a complement to Visual Fusion® or as a standalone product,” says Ian Clemens, Chief Technology Officer at IDV Solutions. “The utilization in SpatialWiki of new cloud-based technologies from Microsoft offers our customers a new level of IT agility.”
IDV Solutions is pleased to offer a public Beta of this Enterprise 2.0 product. See the website below.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.How valuable are our efforts on SDIs if we don’t actively address the human issues? Think about all the government regulations, technical implementation plans, internal processes and procedures, data sharing networks and so on. These are arguably meaningless if there is no buy-in or understanding from the people who must deliver against them.
During the 1Spatial Conference 2008 where there was a large number of presentations on a wide range of important industry topics ranging from data quality, data integration and data maintenance to open source and INSPIRE. But there were very few presentations that focused on the human aspects of our business.… More…
