GIS-Publisher: Simplifying web-based GIS application development for enhanced data dissemination
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are complex systems that store, organize, process, and present geographically referenced data. Developing GIS requires specialized knowledge of algorithms, data structures, and geospatial concepts, along with the ability to implement scalable and efficient solutions for managing massive volumes of spatial data from various sources and providing user-friendly interfaces. This article introduces GIS-Publisher, a tool built using the Software Product Line (SPL) approach, which is a method of systematically creating a family of software products from shared core assets managing similarities and controlling variability. With GIS-Publisher, users without software development expertise can quickly and easily create web applications from directories containing shapefiles, a popular format for geographic data. The tool automates system deployment across various environments, including local computers, Secure Shell (SSH) remote servers, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) instances. Additionally, GIS-Publisher enables users to specify different styles using Styled Layer Descriptions (SLDs) for each shapefile, providing complete control over the visual representation of geographic data. This study details the features, benefits, and implementation of GIS-Publisher, demonstrating how it can accelerate GIS development and deployment.
期刊介绍：
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
