giswebsite Frequently Asked Questions
What is giswebsite?
Based in London, England, since May, 2007, Giswebsite (LLP, partnership number OC334106)
is a systems integration consulting group that builds web-based collaborative spatio-temporal
systems coupled to relational or semantic data models.
Giswebsite evolved from Local Knowledge Consulting, a geographic information systems
consultancy founded in 1995 by Jonathan Lowe that provided spatial data
conversion, GIS application development and interactive spatial website implementation
services to San Francisco Bay Area public and private clients.
What does giswebsite do?
Giswebsite designs, builds and integrates spatio-temporal technologies
in collaboration with application developers and data modelers.
This typically means enhancing an existing non-spatial data management system by integrating
spatial data into existing data models, or enhancing an already spatial system
with temporal and/or semantic capabilities.
For more technical detail, see our
Services page. For examples of past engagements, see our
Examples page. Giswebsite also publishes technical
reviews to demystify buzzwords for ourselves and our customers.
How does giswebsite make money?
Giswebsite charges our customers for systems review, design, build and integration services.
Our customers request both simple and complex assistance, ranging from product evaluation to
architectural reviews, from data modeling to complete system design, build and integration.
Our rates vary depending on the extent of involvement and commercial or non-commercial nature
of each project.
Is giswebsite affiliated with any software vendors?
No. Giswebsite is an independent systems integrator whose strongest loyalties are to our
clients and to the quality of our own work. On past projects, we have applied both commercial
proprietary and free open-source software in our solutions to achieve the best match to each
client's goals and constraints.
