Recognizing the fact that over 80% of governmental information has a spatial component and provision of such information can be significantly enhanced and facilitated by using geo-spatial and Internet technologies, the implementation of an Enterprise GIS coupled web-based applications is a key strategy of the GIS Center . the latter has fundamentally changed the way geographic data is collected, stored, managed, maintained, disseminated and used. to replace traditional channels for dissemination and use of geographic data.
