| Summary | Published in May 2004 IOT SERIAL No. 93-82-7113, 160pp. The government of Taiwan has been endeavoring to set up a National Geographic Information Systems (NGIS) in the last decade to integrate various databases from different government organizations. This result greatly enhanced many government organizations’ daily operations. However, most NGIS are emphasized on land-based applications. Marine based GIS applications are rarely found. The goal of this project is to build a bathymetric database around An-Ping Harbor and an Internet query system. The GIS database includes coastlines, contour lines and depth points. The functions of the Internet query system are to obtain the information about the seabed terrain trend, water depths, and area of the designated polygons. Sources of the bathymetric and coastlines data are collected from 1:50,000 scale maps and from Harbor and Marine Technology Center, Institute of Transportation, MOTC. After maps are merged in the GIS software, the bathymetric data can be integrated with oceanographic data, and queried in GIS software, and browsed on the Internet. This Internet browser is based on vector structure. |
