# The Construction of a Digital Agricultural GIS Application Suite
## 4 Conclusions  
To address the issues of insufficient development efficiency, flexibility, and customization in digital agricultural GIS application systems, this paper introduces the concept of application suites tailored to the needs of digital agriculture. It proposes a design approach for GIS application suites focused on digital agriculture, utilizing low-code development and microservice technologies for implementation, and builds an application system to validate the effectiveness and innovation of this approach. The constructed digital agricultural GIS application suite offers the following advantages: (i) The application suite features integrated applications and granular assembly. Each component within the suite can operate independently while also collaborating seamlessly, enabling quick responsiveness to demands and personalized industry customization. It quickly builds a digital agricultural GIS application system and its various modules through different components. (ii) GIS empowers digital agricultural applications, aligning GIS technology development with the needs of digital agriculture. This allows for the full utilization of GIS's core functionalities while flexibly integrating emerging trends and technologies, fostering a new collaborative paradigm of the \"data knowledge model\" in the context of geographic big data. (iii) The digital agricultural GIS application suite is demand-driven, rooted in the specific needs of practical applications, thereby supporting the core application scenarios of digital agriculture. Future work should focus on the following: (i) In a practical application of the digital agricultural GIS application suite, it will be necessary to integrate the data characteristics and conditions of the research area, providing effective feedback based on different application goals and correspondingly adjusting and optimizing the suite's functionalities. (ii) The design approach and implementation methods proposed for the application suite in the context of digital agriculture possess a degree of universality. First, when constructing application suites in different fields, although the needs of various industries may differ, it is still possible to combine GIS technology with the specific application requirements of each industry based on the specific context, thereby defining, assembling, and constructing the appropriate component structure for the application suite. Second, the low-code development method and microservice architecture, as development technologies of the suite, have broad applicability, which can be expanded to study GIS application suites in other

Third, by utilizing a granular assembly of the various components within the application suite to build the navigation module and individual functional modules, specialized industry GIS application systems can be formed.
