As a cooperating partner in the Kansas Collaborative Research Network (KanCRN), the State of Kansas Data Access and Support Center (DASC) has been involved in establishing the technical architecture necessary for the collection, dissemination, and visualization of spatial databases collected by KanCRN participants. This presentation will detail the elements required to assemble the technical backbone that supports the KanCRN and the personnel required to effectively manage and administer the KanCRN databases. Among the technologies to be covered are Oracle, SequeLink, ColdFusion Server, Netscape Server, Microsoft IIS, Visual Basic, MapObjects, MapObjects Internet Map Server (IMS), ArcView GIS, and ArcView IMS.
