1. Open-Source Geospatial technologies for the Portuguese Bluetongue Entomological Surveillance Program Martins H., Nunes T., Boinas F. II CongressoIbérico de Epidemiologia Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária Universidade Técnica de Lisboa
2. PT BT Entomological SurveillanceCurrent Information System MS Access Database MySQL - PHP script – Google Earth Disadvantages/Problems - Slow process on data communication - Limited online analytical capabilities - No tools for geographical location validation - Common queries executed manually can be automated
3. Portal SIGLANew WebGIS Information System Objectives - Real-Time data communication - Easy-to-use information system - Geographical and alpha-numerical editing tools - Query capabilities under several formats 1. Tables 2. Charts 3. Maps Constraints - Few or No financial resources available for proprietary software licensing costs
6. Portal SIGLA – State of the Art Alphanumerical Component completely implemented 1. Recording, Editing and Visualization forms 2. Several ways for filtering and searching entomological data 3. Querying capabilities supported by the generation of dynamic charts entomological data
7. Portal SIGLA – State of the Art Alphanumerical Component completely implemented (Refer to the video alphanumerical component)
8. Portal SIGLA – State of the Art Geographical Component - Geographical edition supported with forms - Common tools for map browsing and querying (pan, zoom, identify, previous, next, ….) - Geographical Layer manager and Legend Panel - Geocoding tools - Geographical extent update (by geographical coordinates and Freguesia)
9. Portal SIGLA – State of the Art Geographical Component (Refer to the video geographical component)
10. Portal SIGLA – State of the Art Further developments - Advanced spatial querying capabilities (choropleth maps through user filtering definitions, time-filtered layers) - Implement a Printing Module - Implement a User Authentication Module
11. Conclusions Real-Time data sharing User-friendly GIS component greatly reduces the need for high expertise concerning GIS methodologies Democratization of GIS technologies to veterinary officers Such system might contribute to a better insight of the disease spatial and temporal dynamics
