针对传统专题制图的缺点:单机作业和作业的"封闭"环境而导致的数据和专家知识共享困难,不利于在统一的工作流程指导下进行多部门的协同工作。利用Petri网进行工作流建模可以对工作流清晰描述,对整个协作工程进行流程控制;Web Service技术则利于网络环境下的数据和专家知识共享。利用Petri网对专题制图过程进行描述和建模,并利用Web Service技术构建了一个协同专题制图平台,基于平台实现了网络环境下的协同专题制图。该平台已经在深圳市在线地图集项目中得到部分实际应用。
The traditional thematic mapping is based on single computer and worked in a "closed" circumstance.This leads to the difficulties on data and expert knowledge sharing,and disadvantages for different sections' cooperative work under the guidance of unified workflow.Petri net workflow model can clearly describe the workflow of the entire cooperation process;Web Service technology is favorable for data and expert knowledge sharing under the internet environment.Petri net is used to describe and model the thematic mapping process in this paper,and Web Service technology is used to build a cooperative platform for thematic mapping.Cooperative thematic mapping under the internet environment is realized based on the platform.The platform is already partially put into application in Shenzhen online atlas project.
