Developing 3D geoportal for Wilayah Persekutuan Iskandar

Abstract

Portal development of disseminating geospatial information via web has a positive growth over the last few years in Malaysia and elsewhere. Related agencies, i.e. both government and private are in the process of disseminating spatial information to their respective users as could be seen in national geospatial data centre, national mapping agency, local authorities, and newly created business entities for such as Iskandar Region Development Authority (IRDA) in Johor. These agencies, in fact are considered as major implementers of such geospatial information systems, especially the local government authorities. Geospatial portal has proven its importance as communication medium among the government agencies, government to business and government to public. However, at present, most geoportals are based are meant for 2D spatial data and relatively very few geoportals were meant for 3D spatial information.
