Technologies for management of data layers in a heterogeneous geographic information system map

Abstract:

Technologies for management of data layers in a heterogeneous geographic information system (GIS) map are disclosed. A compute device may maintain a GIS database that includes geo-quads that represent physical locations of various scales. Data layers and layer tracks may be dynamically added to the GIS database at different scales, allowing for an extensible framework that enables a mechanism for integrating additional functionality. In the illustrative embodiment, a graph database is used to store the GIS database, allowing for a flexible structure. In some embodiments, entries in layer tracks may include binary large objects that may have properties and associated methods, allowing for application-specific functionality.
