Presentation

Mel McIntyre, OpenApp CEO and OpenIreland Chairman, will present his work on GIS.

Aspects we would like to highlight are the following:

1. Presentation - Presents data in a standard Web Browser as charts and maps without requiring plug-ins.
2. Analysis - Analyses raw data, supports small number suppression, statistically processed data (indirect and direct standardisation, Bayesian smoothing, cluster tests (Kernel, Potthill Whittinghill,  Stone))., supports multivariate cartograms, allows drill down to small area and point data.
3. Open Source - Developed exclusively in open source software – R, GRASS, PostGIS, Mapserver, Zope3 and CPS.
   
4. The development and production environments also utilize many OSS components – Linux, Xen, OpenLDAP, Subversion, Trac
5. Security - Ensures data protection through an information governance framework - role-based access depending on training/skill, agency, and need to analyze or view confidential data.
6. Integration – Integrates many disparate datasets and map sets
7. Many datasets – census; hospital activity; cancer incidence; road collision locations, mortality, births, perinatal data; vaccine uptake. More being added monthly.
8. GeoDirectory (national address database) – generates point data map layers from address lists in csv or MS Excel formats.
9. Supports upload of users point or polygon data from many formats
10. Multiple map sources - Ordinance Survey Ireland raster, Ortho and Vector maps Map layers: Ordnance Survey Ireland raster (including aerial photography) and vector maps from national to house level.– Worldmaps from free web services - Geological Survey Ireland – Radiology
11. Flexible Output – Supports A0 to A4 map outputs in PDF and image formats, report templates, snapshots of queries, table export to csv or Excel
