Geospatial integration

[anthonyneal]

Make Vault Geospatial aware so we can be on a par with ProjectWise. Bentley have made a play of their BIM and GIS integration on both cross rail and London 2012 Olympic projects with projectwise.

Conceptually we could embed FDO in vault to extract the metadata inclduing geographic extents from SHP files, MapInfo Tab files and indeed any geospatial data source. Would also be useful to extract the geographic extents (MBR Minimum boundaing rectangle ) of Civil 3D and AutoCAD Map dwg files and store as Metadata so that we execute geographic searches against Vault.
