The "Panorama" KB has developed the Database of digital maps and RS version 8.9.1. The new version includes functionality for working with engineering survey data—specifically, points of surveying justification. It supports the loading, storage, and maintenance of metadata for temporary and permanent surveying justification points. This data is used in land management, cadastre, boundary delineation, and conducting engineering surveys in the interests of planning, designing, and constructing real estate objects. It supports loading from CSV format and manual data entry, as well as exporting metadata to related systems of local government authorities.

New data types have been added to the "Type of Technical Documents" and "Type of Point" directories. Stricter control over input data is ensured during loading from CSV format. The mechanisms for generating information about coordinates and heights for the formation of extracts from the State Leveling Network (GLN) have been updated.

Data security is ensured by restricting access rights based on security measures included in the operating system. Standard authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or Active Directory) are supported. Additional security is provided through end-to-end authentication when working with the database. Connection to the database occurs with the rights of a user working with the system. The complex is adapted for operation on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, ALT Linux, Elbrus, Ubuntu, CentOS, MS Windows, and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal). The program is registered in the register of domestic software under number 1862.

The database of digital maps and RS serves as the foundation for building spatial data infrastructure at federal, regional, and municipal levels within corporate information systems. Within a unified geoinformation space, the database of digital maps and RS implements the collection, storage, quality control, search, and issuance of spatial data in exchange formats. Spatial data selected using the program can be made available for multi-user access on the GIS Server and published according to international standards OGC WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on the GIS WebService SE application server. Users can access the data both from a thin client (using GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The database of digital maps and RS provides the construction of a cloud storage for spatial data, access to this data, and automated generation and updating of geo-coverages.

The current state of spatial data is displayed using schematic maps, which are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. Remote placement of spatial data sets in a file storage system is ensured, along with version control of stored sets, updates to the data availability schematic maps, automated collection and generation of metadata, and the creation and updating of geo-coverages. Automated collection and generation of metadata are carried out according to the standards ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information — Metadata, and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information — Metadata — XML schema implementation. Reduced copies of data images are automatically generated, file checksums are verified, and the completeness of data sets is checked. The placement of spatial data in the file storage is performed with integrity verification, as well as control over the structure and content of the data. The results of the operations are logged and entered into the metadata database. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage is provided with integrity checks and data recovery. A multilingual interface is supported.

The "Spatial Data Bank" portal demonstrates capabilities for organizing the storage, accounting, and issuance of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, generated based on data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of the subjects of the Russian Federation, countries, and cities both near and far abroad. In total, there are over 400 vector maps and 6,700 matrix datasets with a total volume of over 230 GB. Specialists from the "Panorama" KB update and refresh the information on the portal weekly. All published data is distributed free of charge under an open license.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

The KB "Panorama" has created a tutorial on the task "Importing Data from MIF Format". This task is available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator", and other software products from KB "Panorama" for the Astra Linux Special Edition operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of uploading a set of MIF/MID files with the same classification code settings and attribute data. If it is unclear which field in the MID file corresponds to the classification code of the object from the resource classifier, or if such a field is absent in the MID file, this operation can be skipped. In this case, the program will upload information with the codes of the selected objects.

As a result of running the program, a user map is created, and there is also the possibility to import data into an existing map. To do this, you should select the "Append" radio button and specify a vector map as the output map for loading data.

If the header of the MIF file indicates that the data is stored as geographic coordinates, then the map will have its type, projection, ellipsoid, and height system set. If the coordinate system is not specified in the MIF file or rectangular coordinates are used, then the map parameters will not be set. Later, using the tools in GIS "Panorama," you can convert it to the desired map type.

You can find the training materials in the "Video Lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Yemen, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

The KB "Panorama" has developed GIS Server version 11.2.0 for Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu 18.04, CentOS 8, CentOS 7, and MS Windows operating systems. The new version implements the storage and editing of object lists and their styling for thematic mapping and dynamic labeling of maps hosted on the server.

When creating, editing, and updating object lists by one of the users, changing the display color, graphic symbols for polygons, lines, and point symbols, as well as the numbers of labeled semantics (attributes) and font parameters, the object list file (OBX) is updated on the GIS Server for the corresponding map. The results of these changes will be visible at all workstations where this map is opened, as well as in GIS WebService for displaying thematic maps and dynamic labels on web clients. When copying a map to the GIS Server along with the "LOG" folder, the object lists will automatically be displayed in the specified style. When opening spatial databases through a connection parameter file (DBM), the object list file (OBX) is automatically placed next to the DBM file.

The GIS Server provides remote multi-user access to vector maps, remote sensing data, and spatial databases for desktop products and web services. Hosting data on the server ensures protection against unauthorized viewing, copying, modification, and printing.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

The KB "Panorama" has developed version 15.3.2 of the GIS "Operator" for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" 1.8. The new version supports the display of the map legend. The program has implemented a mode for multiple copying in the map editor. Tools for loading data from XML files and updating classifiers on client workstations have been added.

In the GIS "Operator", the task "Map Legend" has been implemented, providing information about the composition of the document: maps, matrices, rasters, geoportals, and other elements. In this mode, visibility control of data is available with the ability to change layer order by dragging in the list. Data elements are accompanied by icons, and their names can be displayed in full or abbreviated form. To save sets of selected objects on the map, the "Object Lists" mode can be activated. These sets are formed using filters or manually and cover all maps in the document. Object lists are saved in a file with the OBX extension, named after the main document. These lists can be used for various operations with groups of objects (selection, union, intersection, search, and labeling).

Functionality for centralized updating of classifiers on client workstations when they are updated on the GIS Server has been implemented. In the "Data Placement" dialog, a field has been added to specify the host of the GIS Server version no lower than 11.0.8 with classifier standards. Classifiers from the server's common folder are automatically updated on the client. If there are classifiers in the standard with the same names but different extensions, priority is given to the RSC format. If there is a difference in extension on the client, automatic replacement of the classifier type occurs to match the type hosted on the server. To reduce network load, updates may occur with a slight delay.

The map editor has added a "Multiple Object Copying" mode. This task allows users to create copies of an object or group of objects in a specified direction, with a defined interval and quantity. Users can specify the direction of replication along coordinate axes or vectors with necessary parameters. After setting the values, outlines of all copies are displayed on the map. Replication parameters are available for modification through a context menu.

In the tasks "Map Passport," "Raster Projection Transformation", and "Raster Projection Parameters", capabilities for configuring coordinate systems and map projections have been expanded. In the "Map Passport" task, users can now save their settings in an XML format file. All three tasks have added tools for loading previously defined settings from an XML file included in the installation that contains the most frequently used configurations. Additionally, users can prepare their own XML file describing necessary projections and coordinate systems, which will be processed in future dialogs.

Support for version 1.8 of the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system has been added. "Astra Linux Special Edition" is a domestically developed certified operating system with built-in information protection tools (IPTs) for stable and secure operation of IT infrastructures of any scale and processing information of various confidentiality levels. The OS includes a suite of programs for solving everyday office and multimedia tasks. The Astra Linux Special Edition version 1.8 features a visual style called "Astra Proxima", support for two Linux kernels (6.1 and 6.6), simplified deployment and system update processes, and other important changes.

The GIS "Operator" SE is a versatile domestic geographic information system designed for law enforcement agencies.

The program is designed for the accumulation, storage, automated processing, and display of data, calculation results, and forecasts that have geospatial referencing. The GIS "Operator" SE includes tools for displaying and processing vector, raster, and matrix maps. The application provides users with tools for solving specialized tasks such as modeling the movement of special objects against a 3D model backdrop, forecasting the consequences of emergencies at hazardous sites, monitoring aircraft movements, conducting geodetic and topographic work, processing data from GPS/GLONASS navigation devices, printing displayed spatial data on various output devices, and many others.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.
