Development of geoportal of natural-reserve Fund of Ukraine

To store large enough size of spatial data the development of geoportal is the best solution for the presentation of geodata and automatic report generation. The basic principles and technology of geoportal development for natural-reserve Fund (NRF) of Ukraine are presented in the paper. To create the geoportal the objects of national NRF has been inventoried and database of NRF in Ukraine has been actualized. The software solution to storage of large size of geodata, access and visualization was proposed. This solution involves the use of Open Source products such as PostgreSQL (with the extension PostGIS), GeoServer, and Apache, which minimizes the costs of developing of geoportal.
