2010 SOPAC ICT development initiative to bring together disparate:
GIS Data Systems
GIS Data Formats SHP Files, MapInfo Files, GML Files, etc
Common, Searchable, Scalable Data Platform
Singular GIS and Spatial Data Repository
Goals

Enhance Data Sharing and Interoperability between:
Tools, Workflow, Processes & External third-party Systems
Single Data Platform, but Multiple End-User Frontends
Development

Common Platform developed using purely OSS components:
Data Layer – PostGIS Spatial ExtensionDifferent Data Formats converted using OGR (ogr2ogr) and PostGIS (shp2psql) utilities.
Data Exposure – OGC Web ServicesWMS, WFS, WCS - enables any modern desktop or web GIS tool to consume GIS data/layers
Data User Interfaces
Web Map Interface (Searchable, Bandwidth-aware)
Google Earth (KML file generation from Data Layers within the repository)
Other potential interfaces (desktop, web, or mobile) can be easily development using OGC Webservices
Discussion
