Project or service
NetworkThe main purpose of this project is to create an interactive database by integrating already existing geographic referenced systems and to develop their interoperability. To obtain this result, it was necessary to develop an automatic system capable of creating geographical associations for each specific address, by accessing databases already in use and creating a protocol allowing those databases to communicate and inter-operate among them.
On a second level, it was necessary to allow a web-presentation of these databases. This was realized in the frame of a wider regional governance network project undertaken by the Tuscany Region, which offers an overview of all the involved systems.
The technology developed to realize this interoperability system is applied to other projects of Tuscany Region; the project "Giustizia in Toscana" (Justice in Tuscany) offers to this extent a good example of the above mentioned technology.
This project in fact realized a database allowing the users to locate every office related to justice within the region and to retrieve, together with geographical data, also information concerning not only each specific office competence, but also the associated area of governance. This was realized by creating and developing an interoperability protocol between 2 different databases.
