������������������������������������ 6 ??? Is this proper integration? Legacy systems and COTS products do not allow for an easy semantic integration: � different business and logic data models � heavy heterogeneous data to be integrated � various formats and standards for communication, data storage, etc. Research Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics Command and Control Information Systems

Harmonization of logical data models of services is not required! The integration idea: consolidation of the visualization data from the business objects of services and their appropriate visualization at a common presentation layer.

�������������������� ���� 9 Advantages of the integration portal : 1. Central integrated user interface based on COP • homogeneous overall view (uniform data visualization) • Misinterpretation and misunderstandings decreased 2. Better support for application-crossing business processes • more intuitive and efficient realization of business processes of the user • increased user acceptance 3. Encapsulation of GIS • elimination of redundant visualization components of C2IS • uniform presentation of spatial data • easy of exchangeability of GIS • product-independent integration of GIS (usage of open source possible) Research Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics Command and Control Information Systems
