Abstract:
Effective integration of the data describing the interacting components is a key to successful management of the entire system of operating objects. Lack of data integration can lead to significant inefficiencies of operational, tactical, and long-term management strategies. The integrated management system can serve to overcome this inefficiency and improve coordination and cost-effectiveness of solutions. Data Integration is no doubt the most responsible action for the implementation of successful management strategies. An approach to the use of the centralized repository of corporate data which allows to combine spatial and nonspatial data object descriptions is presented. Repository is the environment for data sharing and pooling of data and software products in action.
