Bentley Geospatial Server
Bentley Geospatial Server
Value Proposition• The Geospatial Server provides a secured
centralized environment to contain the explosion of information in an organization by managing, indexing, editing, and plotting structured and unstructured data
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Unique Federated Information Management Approach
• Index rather than convert • Keep the richness and meaning of your information in your
favorite formats (no conversion) • Find information via spatial or non-spatial criteria • View/Edit using your favorite viewing and editing tools,
Applications can be launched directly from the map interface • Manage, index, edit, and printing/plotting
» Structured Information with schemas such as spatial databases, XFM DGNs, Shapefiles
» Unstructured information such as DGN, DWG, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Document Service
• Ability to store spatial and non-spatial files• Scalable solution• Ability to manage complex files with references
» (e.g.: DGN, SHP, MXD, DWG)
• CAD Standards Management• Multiple application integration
» MicroStation v7, v8, XM
» All app based on MicroStation
» AutoCAD 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2000
» ArcMap (ESRI) 9.X
» Microsoft Office 2007, 2003, XP, 2000, 97
Document Service
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Spatial Indexing/Searching Service
• Ability to quickly find files based on multiple spatial and non-spatial criteria
• Background map support• Projection Management• Assigning spatial locations to documents and folders• Text Indexing (Office, DGN, DWG, PDF)• Feature indexing
Spatial Indexing/Searching Service
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Workflow Service
• Organization members need to work together in a structured, secured, collaborative way
• Workflow is a set of states (e.g. initial, design, 75% design, complete) successively traversed by an object
• For each state different security can be enforced on objects stored in the system
• For each state it is also possible to have specific communication enforced through emails.
• The Federated System helps organization members get the right information at the right time in the right context
Workflow Service
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Spatial Database Service
• Excellent Oracle Database Citizen• Multi-User Editing via Oracle Standard Versioning• Short and Long editing sessions using database
standard Oracle database lock • Time Component Support• Data Loading Tool• Web Services Based
Spatial Database Service
Bentley Geospatial Server
Key Innovations• Plotting Service
• Multi-format Plotting and Publishing support • Multiple Print Interfaces• Batch Plotting• Custom Presentation• Content Rich PDF Output• Digital Archiving • Detailed Design Comparisons• Plot Tracking• Full Featured Printer Drivers
Plotting Service
Key Points to Remember
• Geospatial Server functionality can be grouped into 5 services:• Document Service• Spatial Indexing/Searching service• Workflow Service• Spatial Database Service• Plotting Service
Key Points to Remember
• Geospatial Server = Enterprise GIS• Using a unique Federated Information Management
approach.• The idea is simple:
• Index rather than convert• Find rather than search
• Allows managing, indexing, editing, and plotting of :• Structured information, fixed schema
» Spatial Database, DGN/XFM, Shapefile, …• Unstructured information, no schema
» Raw DGN, DWG, Word, PowerPoint, …
