Geospatial Dataset

Datasets are a key component when building location-based services. Quality and accuracy directly influence the user’s satisfaction when experiencing the service.

Webraska uses NAVTEQ’smap and point-of-interest data as standard datasets for major European countries and North America. Alternative navigable geographical data suppliers such as TeleAtlas or local agencies have been integrated for support in many countries including Norway, Slovenia, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Australia, and Japan.

APIs

Applications access the SmartZone Geospatial Platform extensive functionality through one of the available APIs. These are HTTP/GET, SOAP or Java SDK. The full functionalities of SGP4 are available via SOAP and Java.

The focus of the SmartZone Geospatial Platforms development interfaces, is to enable developers to access the core geospatial functionality it provides in a manner that allows creation of applications that satisfy user requirements. The Java SDK provides everything required to build such applications including request, response, and client objects, for all possible remote interactions in SOAP. The Java SDK includes JavaDoc, and extensive Service User Guides provide detailed information on the Webraska configuration and implementation details..
