The Role of Geospatial Databases in Enterprise GIS Systems
This session explores the foundational role of geospatial databases in the architecture of modern Enterprise GIS systems. It highlights how spatial data storage, management, and integration drive efficiency, scalability, and cross-system interoperability. The session will cover key concepts such as database schema design, spatial indexing, and multi-user access models, along with real-world implementation examples using MSSQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
