Abstract :
The plethora of different GIS solutions has brought a new challenge: how to provide transportability among heterogeneous data sources with minimal impact on IT, reducing costs and time? The advent of open software is pushing this issue for using universal spatial-aware standards such as GML. This paper presents a software tool known as Migratool, which aims to easy the geospatial data migration among both distributed and heterogeneous data sources. This tool is based on a three tiers architecture and it has been implemented using the J2EE architecture
