SHOP+

CMS based Geodata Store with FME Server

SHOP+ was built with standard web store components based on the open source Drupal CMS.

SHOP+ Workflow

It can be that simple. The figure below illustrates how SHOP+ works:

  • The surveyors upload daily surveying data to a file server via an INTERLIS checker service (data consistency check)
  • The data is automatically read into a PostGIS database every night using FME Server
  • If errors occur, the administrators receive a message via e-mail (thanks to INTERLIS Check, this practically never happens).
  • The data is thus ready to use, in several ways:
    • Original files of the surveyor in INTERLIS, municipality by municipality (models canton or federal)
    • Data in other four formats, municipality by municipality: Geobau DXF, ESRI Shape, ESRI Geodatabase
    • Data in extracts: Geobau DXF, ESRI Shape, ESRI Geodatabase. Simply put: CLIP-ZIP-SHIP

Three steps and the product is online

SHOP+ makes it relatively easy to put a geodata product online. For example, cadastral survey data. Let's assume you have a database with the dataset. Then follow these three steps:

  • CREATE: Definition of the download process and the parameters with FME Workbench - maybe you already have this ...
  • UPLOAD: Upload Workbench to FME Server, directly from FME Workbench
  • PUBLISH: You log in to SHOP+ as administrator, copy an existing download page, edit the text, and integrate your new workbench.
  • DONE!
