OGRES Read and WRITE SOM
We have taken Smallworld's Spatial Object Manager (SOM) technology to the next level! We implemented our OGRES product using the core SOM technology, not the add-on you can purchase from GE Energy. At this low level development we were able to improve the SOM functionality in a variety of ways that dramatically improves performance and functionality.
Key Features
Writable SOM!
We have the only writable SOM functionality that allows you to read and write ESRI Shape files. Additional formats can be implemented when needed.
Spatial Organization
Unlike the GE Energy add-on SOM technology, we spatially organize the data. This gives vast performance improvements over other SOMs on the market. Our SOM technology allows you to view much larger Shape files. We currently support Shape files with several 10s of thousands of features. The drawing and spatial queries of this data can be over 1000% faster than other SOMs.
Network Analysis
Unlike most entry level GIS applications, OGRES comes with network traceability functionality included. Again, we have built upon the core Smallworld technology. So you can modify the traceability functionality just like you would in a real Smallwolrd VMDS application. The algorithms you create can be easily converted to support your Smallworld VMDS application and vice versa.
Thematic Mapping and Labeling
OGRES allows you to easily create thematic mappings for your data. The mappings are stored in the configuration XML files so you do not need to reproduce the mappings every time you load the data. Automatic labeling is also supported. You can label features based on any of the object's attributes. Again, this is written via Magik so you can modify the algorithms to meet your requirements.
