Open your computer or smartphone and log in to the Shandong Geographic Information Public Service Platform. With a gentle click, you can see the undulating terrain of Qilu, enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers, and experience virtual 3D tourism in major cities... This is the reporter's personal experience on the public version of the platform.

The Shandong Provincial Geographic Information Public Service Platform, jointly established by the Shandong Provincial Government and the National Bureau of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation, passed the acceptance inspection in July 2012 and was officially launched. This platform has opened the door to information technology construction in various industries and also benefited the people's livelihood.

Featured platforms promote information technology construction

The basic geographic information collected and processed by the surveying and mapping department is an important foundation for informatization. The Shandong Geographic Information Public Service Platform constructed by our institute has now been launched and is open to the public for free in both public and government versions. It can provide authoritative and accurate maps for various government departments while also serving the public, "said Dong Tongyu, President of Shandong Provincial Institute of Land Surveying and Mapping.

But what our surveying and mapping institute has built is a 'base map', and in order to deeply apply it in the industry, various departments need to jointly build and share, work together, and make the map 'live' and 'thick'. The Shandong Provincial Geographic Information Public Service Platform is one of the first pilot provinces in the country, and its achievements are leading domestically and have reached the international advanced level. With the goal of providing "authoritative, unified, and efficient" networked and one-stop geographic information services, we have established an operation and maintenance mechanism for data resource sharing, linkage updates, interconnectivity, and collaborative services; We have established a relatively complete geographic information public service system.

The reporter put on 3D glasses in the demonstration hall and experienced the feeling of "speeding" on the highway, with undulating mountains and ravines on both sides of the road... This is the 3D map experience of Tianditu • Shandong.

Xiang Hengmao, deputy director of the R&D Center of the Provincial Institute of Land Surveying and Mapping, said that the positioning of the public version and the government version is different. The Internet based map of heaven and earth • Shandong serves the public, enterprises and government. And the government version is deployed on the e-government private network, with image maps, 3D maps, etc. Our service clients include land, public security, water conservancy, civil affairs, etc. The platform has six major characteristics. Firstly, the platform's data is very reliable and authoritative, with detailed and informative content. It basically covers thematic information provided and released by departments such as land, agriculture, transportation, tourism, health, water conservancy, and earthquakes.

The platform architecture and functions are also very complete, and government departments can use geographic information on the e-government private network. The public can enjoy services in transportation, food search, hotel booking, virtual tourism, weather viewing, and other aspects based on the public version.

Xiang Hengmao mentioned that the platform provides flexible and convenient application development modes, including system customization, API (application program) interface, and standard interface for business system development.

The platform has now achieved interconnectivity with nodes at the national, provincial, municipal, and county-level levels. These four levels of geographic information resources can be effectively integrated and service aggregated. Users only need to access the platform as an entry point to access geographic information resources distributed in different regions of the country, province, city, and county. At present, the government platform has achieved interconnectivity with four cities including Dongying, Weifang, Rizhao, and Qingdao; The public version platform - "Tianditu • Shandong" has achieved interconnectivity with national main nodes and 9 cities and 1 county including Weifang, Yantai, Rizhao, Qingdao, and Shouguang, realizing the "One Map" online collaborative service mode.

In order to ensure the security, stability, and efficient operation of the platform, the Provincial Land Surveying and Mapping Institute has equipped itself with a complete software and hardware environment, established a professional operation and maintenance management team, and provided 7X24 uninterrupted services.

Application is where value lies, and sharing is the key link. The Provincial Department of Land and Resources has explored an effective way of platform data update mechanism by signing information resource co construction and sharing agreements with departments such as the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, Public Security, Transportation, and Seismological Bureau.

Industry applications continue to deepen

Mao Jijun introduced that the Provincial Land Surveying and Mapping Institute is responsible for the construction of the platform, updating data, and government departments can freely access the government and public versions of maps to establish their own thematic maps. The electronic map data of the platform comes from the provincial 1:10000 scale basic surveying and mapping,

Key data such as newly added roads and place names are updated annually. Currently, there are over 20 government users in the province, and the platform has a high frequency of data updates, high costs, and wide coverage. One investment, everyone shares, avoids duplicate construction, and saves costs. Basic geographic information is an important foundation for the informatization of land and resources. Land, mineral resources, geological hazards and other data need to be integrated into a "one map" of land and resources. Land and resources departments have the strongest dependence on geographic information data and resources. Business management of land and resources, such as land management, mineral management, geological hazard prediction and early warning, cannot do without map data.

According to the construction requirements of the Ministry of Land and Resources' "One Map", the Shandong Provincial Department is deeply promoting the construction of "one platform, two markets" for land and resources informatization. One platform "refers to the regulatory service platform, while" two markets "refer to the mining rights trading market and the land trading market. This is a guideline for promoting the informatization of land and resources in Shandong Province, with the aim of achieving online acceptance, online approval, online transactions, online supervision, and online services, ultimately realizing the full operation and comprehensive supervision of land and resources services at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, and implementing land and resources management through technological information.

At present, the Shandong Provincial Department has built more than ten business systems based on the platform, including a comprehensive supervision service platform for land and resources, a cadastral map, project management of urban-rural construction land increase and decrease linkage, grid based supervision of mineral resources, approval management of construction land, management of basic farmland, geological disaster forecasting and early warning, and automatic monitoring. By utilizing the geographic information services provided by the network calling platform, efficient utilization of resources has been achieved, and the application service model has been promoted in various cities and counties throughout the province.

The land and resources bureaus of Jinan, Weifang, Gaomi, Shouguang and other places have established their own unique "one map" based on the platform.

In addition, the Provincial Public Security Department has built a police geographic information database (PGIS) based on the platform, the Provincial Tourism Bureau has launched the construction of a province wide digital tourism service system, the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau has developed a province wide immovable cultural relics management system, and the Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau has launched the construction of a province wide comprehensive safety production supervision emergency command platform

Infinite application prospects

Since its launch, the platform has effectively promoted the informatization construction of various industries in Shandong Province, facilitated the sharing of information resources among departments, and achieved the goal of fully integrating resources and efficiently sharing and utilizing them. At the same time, platform construction and application effectively solve prominent problems in the informationization construction of departments based on geographic information, such as repeated construction, high investment costs, long construction cycles, high technical barriers, and difficult data updates. According to preliminary statistics, sharing and utilizing geographic information data resources alone can save financesWith a budget of 100 million yuan, significant economic and social benefits have been achieved.

At present, 20 provincial-level departments including land, public security, transportation, environmental protection, tourism, and water conservancy, as well as 6 city and county-level departments, have carried out platform based business system construction, completing more than 40 business systems in total.

It is reported that the largest geographic information industry park in China has settled in Weifang, Shandong. The park covers an area of 3500 acres, with a total investment of 15 billion yuan, an output value of 50 billion yuan, and employs 20000 people. This will greatly promote the development of industrial parks, and the successful construction of public service platforms has laid a solid foundation for industry applications and convenient services.

With a gentle touch of your fingertips, geographic information services will be everywhere. With the development of platforms and industrial parks, the geographic information industry in Shandong Province will also usher in a spring scenery.
