The aim of gvSIG Batoví is to develop a powerful educational tool that enables primary and secondary education students to understand space, to easily interpret maps and to learn free technologies as part of the wider CEIBAL Initiative. The presentation was translated by Robin Lovelace (University of Sheffield) and Dr. Juan C.

In the future the public, councillors and interest groups will not only be commenting on planning policy, but putting forward their own proposals. For Tendring this level of involvement increased the need for an online consultation system. The system had to be robust and efficient enough to be put into place quickly and efficiently. At the same time it had to be easy to use. It has to last well into the future and to cope with all the possible changing requirements.

The applications, MapIT® and ExploreIT has to provide staff working in even the most remote branches with information formerly only directly available to the management team at the Head Office. Above all, it has to be simple to use, yet provide advanced features for those who need to access them.

Launched in 2002, now more than 50% of all households in the country participate in Nectar, collecting points from over 7,000 retail outlets. Managing and analysing the huge amount of information for an operation on such a scale requires a specially tailored software package, and when they were looking for a new system, LMUK turned to Newgrove to develop Map-OMatic, which now performs this complex job with deceptive ease.

It is working on re-connecting the rivers and deltas around the North Sea region and focuses on: addressing knowledge gaps about fish populations that depend on free movement between the North Sea and freshwater systems; innovative fish migration measures; collaborating with local water management authorities and policy makers; creating greater public awareness about the Living North Sea and its aims and future achievements. It aims to promote ‘free’ fish migration from sea to source and migration routes; threats from man-made barriers and fish migration measures; and influencing future policy at a regional, national and international level and informing the general public. Provision and ease of access to data and information resources is very important. Through a web-portal a Web-GIS can provide a single interface providing end-users with a simple, intuitive and familiar window onto both scientific data and information presented in the form of an interactive map. This paper presents an overview of the LNS project with a special focus on the development of a web-based GIS.

Open source GIS has been successfully applied for the visualisation and analysis of archaeological survey data, proving extremely capable of handling 2D and 3D vector and raster data. Oxford Archaeology have gone one step further, introducing the use of open source illustration software, Inkscape, for the editing of vector maps and the production of high-quality publication-standard illustrations.
