Spatial information and planning system
The spatial information and planning system (abbreviated RIPS ) is the central component for spatial data management within the Environmental Information System Baden-Württemberg (UIS BW). RIPS is used as a service platform by over 10,000 users of the Baden-Württemberg administration at state and municipal level and also provides map services for the public on the Internet. The operator is the LUBW Landesanstalt für Umwelt Baden-Württemberg .
RIPS guarantees spatial data processing within the UIS BW by making available to the UIS BW specialist applications for environmental issues such as water, soil, nature conservation, etc., cross-departmental geospatial applications, quality-assured data ( basic geospatial data from the survey administration, geospatial data and related factual information) as well as standardized geospatial services. In addition to a central geodata server and a data warehouse in Oracle Locator format, RIPS includes decentralized geographic information systems (GIS) for data acquisition, evaluation and cartographic presentation. Both GIS available on the market and LUBW's own developments are used.
In addition to providing up-to-date spatial data and adapted GIS functions for specialist applications in environmental administration, RIPS also offers map services and downloads to the interested public on the Internet. These include remote sensing data, geospatial data on nature and landscape such as biotopes and protected areas, etc. through to special topics such as flood hazard maps, noise mapping or potential solar yields on house roofs. RIPS uses web services based on the standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) both on the Baden-Württemberg administration's intranet and on the Internet . In addition to Web Map Services (WMS), these are increasingly also Web Processing Services (WPS). The spatial data and services of the RIPS are made accessible via an ISO-19115 -compliant metadata catalog (RIPS-MDK).
With the comprehensive, standardized provision of geospatial data and services, RIPS makes a significant contribution to the implementation of the INSPIRE directive (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community). As part of the work on the spatial data infrastructures Germany (GDI-DE) and Baden-Württemberg (GDI-BW), RIPS provides important technical data on the environment for the establishment of a national spatial database (NGDB).
