GIC is building an integrated, seamless, fine-grained, temporal geo-database in accordance with international standards. This geo-database is a critical success component for the GIC and it demands a high level of analysis, design and development.
The proper understanding of the various stakeholder units and functions of GCS is dependent on qualifying the roles and responsibilities for information creation, production, processing, and storage at GCS. This also will ensure that all the relevant stakeholders and their various domains of knowledge are incorporated into the scope of the GIC's projects.
All data production efforts conducted within GCS will feed into the GIC distribution database to be the source for all information disseminated by GCS, including online information through the Geo Portal Website, in addition to all print and digital media. In particular, the production of standard and custom map products (cartography) will be based on this database, with the integration of information coming from multiple external sources.
