Virtual Assistants to bring geospatial information closer to a smart citizen

This article presents a proposal for the use of virtual assistants integrated into a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI), which will facilitate citizen's access to available resources in creating geospatial information scenarios, without the need for increased knowledge or technical training. The chatbot would also allow access to SDI technology to be transparent to the citizen, allowing access to different map servers at the same time. The scenarios created refer to the main events registered in the National Risk and Emergency Management Service (SNGRE) of the country. The existing information is very data rich insomuch that the ordinary citizen does not know how to access its source. This project takes the initial steps for the integration of various sources of geospatial information with the goal to archive a core of geospatial information for services of City Intelligent. Ideally, this new form of access to geospatial information will also allow decision makers, using natural language, to have additional information to improve territorial planning and land use processes.
