| dc.description.abstract | Parliamentary libraries and research centres work primarily with text-based documents and reports. A common challenge faced by Members of Parliaments and their staff is finding time to read all of the information surrounding a complex issue. Visualization of this information can lead to a faster and improved understanding of multidimensional policy issues. Geographical Information System (GIS) services can provide such visual presentation and analysis. This paper describes what is involved in setting up a reputable GIS service as well as some of the challenges encountered in making it sustainable in times of budget constraints. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Las bibliotecas parlamentarias y los centros de investigación trabajan principalmente con documentos e informes escritos. Los Miembros y el personal del Parlamento se enfrentan al mismo desafío: encontrar el tiempo necesario para leer toda la información relacionada con un tema determinado. A través de la visualización de esta información se puede lograr una mejor y más ágil comprensión de asuntos políticos multidimensionales. Los servicios del Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) pueden proveer dicho análisis y presentación visual. Esta ponencia describe cómo se suministra un servicio SIG respetable y cuáles son los desafíos que se presentan cuando se quiere lograr la sustentabilidad de este servicio en tiempos de limitaciones presupuestarias. | es |
