SIGPobla, a successful case study of a Spatial Data Infrastructure in a municipality

Posted on 28/03/2018 by Mario

During the 3rd gvSIG Festival there was an interesting presentation about SIGPobla, a successful case study of a Spatial Data Infrastructure in La Pobla de Vallbona municipality.

That presentation dealt with the implementation of the SDI of La Pobla de Vallbona, a municipality that has about 24,000 inhabitants, which required a platform such as gvSIG Online to generate as many geoportals (public and/or private) as they needed in an easy way and without limitations. On the other hand, they needed a mobile application, such as gvSIG Mobile, for Android, for field data gathering… with the aim of carrying out all the municipal inventory.

The SDI of La Pobla de Vallbona is available here:
