SIDIF: Location based technique for spatial information databases integration framework

Evaluation for effectiveness and efficiency of artificial reefs (AR) development is quite difficult and troublesome. This is because of high cost incurred. As for common practice, evaluation process is done by special dive task force unit to conduct diving activity to observe on how AR has developed. This paper presents a framework architecture to integrate location coordinate data (longitude and latitude) of AR with the fish catches data at all identified jetty. In SIDIF, the data of fish catches will be mapped with data on location coordinate of AR as a whole via mapping and integration of these two (2) different databases. Using this methodology, the effectiveness and efficiency of AR development will be achieved as well as the evaluation will be measured. In this study, research only made integration two database only namely artificial reef database (ARPOS) and fish landing database (WiFISH). Before integration process both this database is conducted, various issues should be identified over proceed.
