Abstract
The rapid improvement and innovation in mapping systems embedding spatial information management, namely platforms such as Google Maps have resulted in applications Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSSs). which complement business knowledge through high-quality geographically referenced content. However, it is still no common the use of Web 2.0 technologies in developing Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSSs) supporting both web-based data exploration and spatial analysis. This paper tries to identify the key factors which affect development of a SDSS within Web 2.0 technology and aims to make conceptual and practical contribution. Conceptually, a reference architecture is proposed for modeling a SDSS with emphasis on the use of contents and functionality that are available on the web in form of open APIs and reusable services. Mash-ups are privileged mechanisms for integrating data/content from networked resources. Practically, the paper illustrates how this architecture can be effectively deployed for broadly management of spatial and non-spatial information in real estate decision-making.
