KB "Panorama" has developed GIS WebService SE version 15.11.2. The new version implements a PHP microservices development interface. It allows creating services based on existing GIS WebService SE methods and operations and integrating them into applications. As examples, the documentation presents and describes exclusion zone detection and printing services. The advantage of microservices lies in their scalability, development flexibility, and stability.

The new version expands data import and export capabilities. Support has been added for the most common formats such as SVG, TIFF, CSV, DXF, SHP, MIF/MID, GeoJSON, GML, TXT, SIT, SITX, MAP, MPT, SXF, TXF, KML. Data republication from the "National Spatial Data System" geoportal has been implemented.

Linux family operating systems support has been improved. Support for Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 has been added. Qt5 support has been implemented for all supported operating systems, including Astra Linux, both for information display and for writing custom service libraries. New queries have been implemented: calculating the shortest distance from a point to an object, determining point coordinates based on distance from the object's start.

The user interface has been improved. A service layer closing button has been added for manual data replacement without stopping the service. GIS Server administrator call tools have been implemented. Additionally, client-side log archiving is now available to reduce data transfer volume. A user interface has been developed for configuring layer accessibility, editing layers, search filters, and object display for each user. Restriction parameters (code, key, semantics, localization) can be set using SQL queries to the database.

GIS WebService SE supports all international standards (OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS, WPS) used for spatial data transfer and display. The program implements the ability to serve tiles for any custom or local coordinate system. The application is developed for Windows and Linux platforms and is compatible with Apache, IIS, and nginx web servers.

The new program version and documentation are available on the website in the Download section.

KB "Panorama" specialists have successfully completed testing that confirms compatibility and correct operation of GIS Server, GIS WebService SE, and Imagery Service with "Astra Linux Special Edition" version 1.8. More details about the certified versions' operation in "Astra Linux Special Edition" 1.8 can be found in the corresponding forum sections.

GIS Server is a program that provides remote access to vector maps, remote sensing data, and spatial databases for users of GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator", and other programs. Server-based data storage ensures protection against illegal viewing, copying, modification, and printing. GIS Server supports multi-level interconnection for distributed storage and processing of spatial data with automatic replication and backup. The program works with spatial databases managed by PostgreSQL DBMS in accordance with OGC 06-103r4 standard: "OpenGIS Implementation Standard for Geographic information – Simple feature access – Part 1: Common architecture".

GIS WebService SE is designed to process requests in TCP/IP networks. The service provides vector and raster spatial information. It performs object searches based on semantic characteristics, creates and edits vector maps, performs map calculations, enables surface and road graph construction, converts object coordinates between different systems, generates map legends, and processes other requests. The service includes GIS Application Service, designed for creating tile pyramids from spatial data. It enables transaction operations for creating, updating, or deleting existing objects in service datasets. The service provides spatial data in GML format, metadata retrieval, and terrain information.

Imagery Service generates tiles in JPEG, PNG, PNG8, Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage, WebP, GeoJson formats according to international standard OGC WMTS 07-057r7 version 1.0.0, TMS standard, and OGC 12-128r15 GeoPackage version 1.2.1. Tile data created by Imagery Service is used by GIS WebServer SE and GIS WebService SE software products to ensure high-speed processing of requests for displaying spatial data across vast territories with simultaneous access by many users.

"Astra Linux Special Edition" is a Russian certified operating system with built-in information protection tools for stable and secure operation of IT infrastructures of any scale and processing of information with various levels of confidentiality. The operating system includes a software package for solving everyday office and multimedia tasks.

KB "Panorama" in collaboration with MIIGAiK students has prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Import vector maps from KML format" task. The task is available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator" and other KB "Panorama" software products for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates KML data loading types both into a new map and into an existing one. During data import, loading is performed while preserving the graphical appearance of objects and according to the map resource classifier mp2map.rscz. This classifier is based on conventional symbols compiled from open sources. Object keys correspond to Garmin, Navitel, and other object types. To display KML file objects using unique keys used in the classifier, it is necessary to create a settings file. To fill in the settings table, you need to match the classifier object keys with KML file data.

During data loading, information is provided about the total number of objects, successfully and unsuccessfully created objects, and the number of unconfigured codes. You can find the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of the Philippines, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

KB "Panorama" has developed "Workstation of the urban-planner" version 15.4.0. The new version includes a "Cultural Heritage Sites" (CHS) registry, an expanded list of reference books and accounting object attributes, and implements synchronization of cultural heritage objects' attributes with the digital map classifier semantics.

The "Cultural Heritage Sites" registry is designed for recording immovable objects of historical, archaeological, architectural, artistic, and urban planning value. The registry is part of the "Accounting Objects" mode and allows establishing spatial and logical connections between cultural heritage sites and land plots, documents, rights holders, and digital map objects. The ability to attach photos and images to records ensures storage of both attribute information and visual representations of objects in the database.

To maintain the CHS registry, a new reference book "Types of Cultural Heritage Sites" has been added to the database, and the "Type of Real Estate Object" reference book has been updated. The names and codes of the reference books correspond to the identical semantics of the survey classifier. This ensures accuracy and consistency of information stored in the database and digital map objects.

The developed attributes of cultural heritage site records allow data storage in accordance with information obtained from the "National Spatial Data System" portal. To ensure high accuracy and data consistency, the names and codes of these reference books correspond to the identical semantics of the survey classifier.

The implementation of the CHS registry in the "Urban Planner's Workstation" enables the complex to be used in urban planning and cultural heritage protection, contributing to the preservation and effective management of unique objects.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.
