ProLines Technology

How are ProLines built?

ProLines are built using the PCI Pluggable Functions (PPF) framework. This framework allows users to access geospatial processes from multiple environments and to configure each function by a set of parameters. This open architecture supports the creation of scalable workflows where a user links functions together to achieve a suitable custom workflow built in a C++, Java or Python.

The ProLines environment supports vast amounts of data from multiple sources (more than 100 different geospatial data formats) for data ingestion and dissemination in any workflow. This environment is also tightly integrated with Oracle Spatial databases—providing users with efficient access to grid and vector data from a centralized repository.

The production environment is flexible, allowing seamless integration of any existing software system or application into a complete solution. Users have complete control of workflow management and can include breakpoints for quality control, create output process logs, and include operator intervention as required. ProLines are readily modifiable and can easily be altered to reflect new and changing needs on the workflow or business level, or both.
