Аннотация:The concept of using a system approach and special geographic research is proposed. This concept includes all the entire cycle of works from designing the architecture of the GIS-solution and database formation to thematic mapping and visualization of results in the form of a Geo-Resource.
The structure and content of the Geo-database is determined in accordance with the task, as well as a number of specific issues related to the geometric and thematic matching of data obtained from different heterogeneous scale sources. This particularity is determined primarily by the departmental affiliation of the initial data. Most of the disciplinary information is related to intradepartmental zones, which do not coincide with the administrative division by subjects of the federation (for example, the boundaries of 16 branches of Russian Railways do not coincide with the boundaries of subjects of the Russian Federation). The developed GDB includes a general geographic (base) and thematic blocks.The developed database makes it possible to solve the issues of creating the map “Transportation System of Russia. Modern State” and provides a wide range of users with the results of research in the form of a Geo-resource. The main goal is to provide the consumer with the most complete and reliable information about the transport system of Russia and its further perspectives.
