Multi-Format Semantically Rich XML Based Visualization of Urban Structures

The article describes the architecture of it Completely XML-based geoinformation system. whose output follows a generator-transformer-serializer concept. This allows to generate tables and graphics as well as virtual reality models from a data base filled with land register data. Internal calculations and transformations, are done with XSLT. which allows the integration with latest web technologies also for editing purpose. The modular system architecture may incorporate arbitrarily heterogeneous data sources and therefore is well suited for the integration of GIS and general workflow management systems anticipated in public administration.
