IBM has just announced the Geographic Interface for OS/2(R) (geoInterface)
which provides a user-friendly desktop geographic information system (GIS)
interface that can be integrated with customer enterprise applications. It
offers the ability to visualize, analyze, and update IBM Geographic Facilities
Information System (GFIS) data using low cost personal OS/2 systems. Taking
advantage of IBM's VisualAge(TM) object-oriented programming environment,
geoInterface delivers GIS functions in client/server and detached modes.
geoInterface enables a full range of GIS applications for the analysis,
tracking, and management of geographically located facilities, assets, or
events. Market and network analysis and automated mapping and facilities
management (AM/FM) are well suited in any industry to geoInterface
capabilities. GeoInterface is not simply picture-based; it is based on a
network topological model that provides a superior architecture for many
applications, including:
o Electric and gas distribution systems
o Retail market or public sector demographic analysis
o Railroad and highway planning and management
o Water, wastewater, or other municipal sector systems
o Cable TV, telephone, and computer networks.
