Research on scalable urban planning management information system based on business-oriented workflow

As the urbanization process, urban planning business are more complex and need more GIS functions, at the same time, spatial data and property data are the increase in geometric progression‥ When facing those, a highly scalable, extensible urban planning management information system is needed urgently. In this paper, such a system called PM2006 is introduced which can be seen as business-oriented workflow extensibility, scalability of DLL-based architecture, flexibility on platforms of GIS and database, scalability of data updating and maintenance and so on. PM2006 has been used in urban planning bureau of more than 100 cities and is proved as a mature GIS application system. Especially, PM2006 is a tool-like information system which can meet the requirements of all levels of administrative divisions and can adapt to ever-growing changes in urban planning business.
