NGIS projects have been widely proceeded by the central and municipal governments, and the higher cost for proceeding the NGIS projects emphasizes the importance of the data sharing among related agencies. For supporting data sharing, effective data generation, and management. 'THE GUIDELINE FOR MANAGING AND DOCUMENTING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION CATALOGUES' has been established and enforced since the year 2002. Although metadata for distributing geographic information through the NGIS distribution network has already been installed, this needs to be complimented to maximize the data utilization. Based on such requirements, a draft standard of the national metadata which is compliant with the ISO 19115 has been proposed from this study. All components of the metadata for distributing geographic information have been included and related metadata items for the management purpose have been derived from domestic and foreign studies. Based on this, draft national metadata standards comprised of 13 sections have been made. The metadata standards from this study could contribute to building basic standards to access and to utilize geographic information in various application field. This would also be fundamental base for activating GIS in public and private sectors.

This study aims to generalize the stream network developing algorithm of the geographic hierarchy Stream networks with hierarchy system should be spatially hierarchized in linear features. The generalization procedure of the stream networks are composed of the hierarchy of stream, selection and elimination, and algorithm. Working of stream networks is composed by the decision of direction on stream networks, ranking of stroke segments, and ordering by the strahler method, using geographic data query for controlling selection and elimination of the linear feature by scale. Improved Simoo algorithm was effective in enhancement and decreasing curvature of linear features. Resultantly, it is expected to improve generalization of features with various spatial hierarchy.

Recently, the use of Geographic Information System in each field of our society is on the increase according to the development of the Internet. But, thereis a problem of the user access latencies, the network traffic, and the server overload in Internet Geographic Information System because spatial data are transferred in large volumes. In this paper, we propose a cache algorithm on client side to solve the above problems. The proposed algorithm demonstrates the performance improvement over known studies by utilizing unit time and spatial proximity. In addition, this paper conducts a performance evaluation to measure the improvement in algorithm efficiency and analyzes the results of the performance evaluation. When spatial data queries are conducted, according to our performance evaluation, hit rate has been improved over the existing algorithms.

In this paper, geographic information system(GIS) for an intelligent power distribution network was implemented with location informations acquired from automatic meter reading system, where the location informations of power line communication(PLC) modems installed at customer side were collected at data concentration units(DCUs) of headend equipment via PLC and then were transmitted to front end processor server. By displaying the connection status of the power distribution network on GIS map, operation of advanced metering infrastructure(AMI) or management of power grid system could be performed intuitionally and in real time, because the configuration state of the power grid could be easily monitored. The feasibility of the proposed system was confirmed with the especially constructed laboratory-level test bed and the verification test of the system will be carried out for a real power distribution network.

For 3D modelling artificial objects with computers, we have to draw frames and paint the facet images on each side. In this paper, a geographic modelling system building automatically 3D geographic spaces using GIS data and real images of buildings is proposed. First, the 3D model of terrain is constructed by using TIN and DEM algorithms. The images of buildings are acquired with a camera and its position is estimated using vertical lines of the image and the GIS data. The height of the building is computed with the image and the position of the camera, which used for making up the frames of buildings. The 3D model of the building is obtained by detecting the facet iamges of the building and texture mapping them on the 3D frame. The proposed geographical modeling system is applied to real area and shows its effectiveness.

The number of fuel gas accidents is increasing in domestic fuel gas facilities as increasing the supply area. To prevent gas accident, the government institutions related to fuel gas industry partly collected and managed the information of physical properties and safety data. Due to the overlap of data between institutions, collecting and managing the safety information was inefficient. The purpose of this research is developing geographic information system which providing the information of quantitative risk assessment, accident prevention plan, and efficient sharing and managing of the system.

During recent years, there has been exponential growth in biological information. With the emergence of large datasets in biology, life scientists are encountering bottlenecks in handling the biological data. This study presents an integrated geographic information system (GIS)-ontology application for handling microbial genome data. The application uses a linear referencing technique as one of the GIS functionalities to represent genes as linear events on the genome layer, where users can define/change the attributes of genes in an event table and interactively see the gene events on a genome layer. Our application adopted ontology to portray and store genomic data in a semantic framework, which facilitates data-sharing among biology domains, applications, and experts. The application was developed in two steps. In the first step, the genome annotated data were prepared and stored in a MySQL database. The second step involved the connection of the database to both ArcGIS and $Prot{\acute{e}}g{\acute{e}}$ as the GIS engine and ontology platform, respectively. We have designed this application specifically to manage the genome-annotated data of rumen microbial populations. Such a GIS-ontology application offers powerful capabilities for visualizing, managing, reusing, sharing, and querying genome-related data.

Recently, the importance of geoCRM (geographic Customer Relationship Management) systems are growing rapidly. So, result of the recognition that their applications extend well beyond the traditional CRM systems with the advent of ubiquitous environment and generalized location based services. A majority of traditional CRM systems are either incapable of managing spatial data or are not user-friendly when doing so. On the other hand, the geoCRM systems can be built as providing the geographic-based functions about CRM, including spatial and market analyses and the visualization of customer data, etc. However, it lacks the specific model and implementation of the geoCRM systems, being caused by the incomprehension of needs, the absence of related standards and the difficulties of development, and so on. In this paper, we develop a new spatial analysis supporting system that to enhance productivity through the convenient use and management of spatial data. The functionality provided by our system includes a set of analysis functions based on data mining techniques which allow a user to affect powerful transformation on spatial data. Particularly, both spatial data and non-spatial attributes can be efficiently handled as an object through our OODBMS.

Recent advances in Geographic Information Systems and spatial statistical and analytical methods, along with the availability of spatially referenced health and environmental data, have created unique opportunities to investigate spatial associations between environment exposures and health outcomes at multiple spatial scales and resolutions. However, the increased use of spatial data also faces challenges, one of which is to ensure certainty and accuracy of locational data that meets the needs of a study. This article critically reviews the use of spatially referenced data in epidemiologic studies, focusing on the issue of locational uncertainty generated from the process of geocoding health and environmental data. Primarily, major issues involving the use of spatially referenced data are addressed, including completeness and positional accuracy, potential source of bias and exposure misclassification, and implications for epidemiologic studies. The need for critical assessment and caution in designing and conducting spatial epidemiology studies is briefly discussed.
