Abstract

The Service-Oriented Rural Information Grid (SORIG) is a framework that is geared towards integrating several existing services provided by the Government of India. Such services have been implemented on heterogeneous platforms and under different administrative control. The main objective of SORIG has been to facilitate "one-stop" access to various services of the Government. In this paper, we share our experience of integrating the newly developed web based Geographical Information System Services to the SORIG framework. This integration has helped in extending the scope of the information access capability of both the rural mass as well as the administration during disasters, general and local elections as well as monitoring of different rural programmes of the government.
