Abstract
One of the reasons that Individual users and organizations use GIS, is to exchange
geospatial data as a means to location based decision-making. A considerable amount
of preprocessing has to be done, before and after the data has been integrated.
Within this decade, we are seeing developments in technologies which are
creating services which need geospatial data comparison and integration (Najar et
al., 2006). This is so evident in: Google Earth; Microsoft’s MapPoint.Net; O’Reilly’s
Where 2.0; Intergraph’s reorganization around “SIM”; Oracle Locator and Spatial;
ESRI’s ArcGIS 9.x; US Census’ MAF/TIGER integration; new platforms, new
vendors, new users and the many conferences on mobile commerce and locationbased
services (Batty, 2004, Alperin, 2005) and varying application (Busgeeth and
Rivett, 2004). These developments and changes are so diverse that they don’t even
seem related, but they are (Sonnen, 2005); that is, they take advantage of the vast
geo-information available, which reflect the increased importance of location in
information systems and services (Strader et al., 2004).
