15 September 2008 - Singapore Land Authority (SLA)invites tenderers to bid for an Intelligent Map System
The SLA is Singapore's spatial data authority. They have embarked on a project to build a new community-GIS map platform that will provide users with a plethora of target-user experiences on SLA's authoritative base maps with over 100 layers of spatial information.
This notice invites vendors to bid for this project, which will be available to all Singaporeans when ready. This is the first time that the Singapore government has provided an interactive map of this scale.
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) is inviting tenderers to bid for a project to design, develop and maintain a government-wide intelligent map system.
SLA, as Singapore’s spatial information authority, is embarking on an initiative to give the public and private sector a one-stop access to a wealth of government geospatial content from authoritative sources.
This will be a launch pad for government agencies to build their own map services using an Application Programming Interface (API) through which a common and consistent look-and-feel map interface can be created.
It will also be the gateway for the private sector to tap on rich government content and mash it up with their own collection of spatial information to create services and to support enterprises’ business needs. Individuals can even use the maps for personal use, eg on their blogs.
The intelligent map service will power up mobility and decision-making via desktop and mobile devices. SLA is inviting industry partners to participate in this tender and propose innovative solutions. The deadline for proposals is 12 noon on 17 Nov 2008.
