[postgis-users] Re: How do you use PostGIS?

[Hartmut Tschauner]

>>> - Name of the organization

Seoul National University, Department of Archaeology

>>> - Data being managed in the database

Korea Heritage Database
Archaeological research data (regional and site level, mostly from Peru)

>>> - How the data is being accessed / manipulated

Desktop:
JUMP
Custom extension to ArcGIS 9 
Manifold System 6.1 (via WKB)

Dissemination via the Internet:
SVG application (under development)

>>> - Why you chose to use PostGIS for the application

1. Free, SQL-based spatial database with small footprint and good
performance.
2. Spatial SQL offers unmatched flexibility of data access/seamlessly mixing
spatial and attribute data.
3. Directly supports multiple options for disseminating data via the web.
4. Standards based.

>>> - What PostGIS feature or PostGIS-related software (not necessarily
internal to PostGIS) would make your life much easier/better?  

1. Full support for 3D geometries (3D spatial analysis).
2. Raster support, incl. mixed raster and vector queries (e.g., avg and
stdev of raster values by vector polygons).
3. Thiessen polygon function.
4. Spatial statistics functions.
5. A quality application that will directly edit PostGIS geometries.
6. Upgrade database without dump/load.
