Abstract
Development of a Map-Based Metadata Search Tool
Track: Metadata and Data Publishing
Author(s): William Samuels, Russell Kunibe, Thomas McCarty
The Cook Inlet Information Management and Monitoring System (CIIMMS) provides an interactive Web site that links to a geographically distributed system of information providers. ArcIMS and the ArcIMS WMS Connector were chosen to perform the CIIMMS map-based search. The software is consistent with the emerging open GIS standards. The map server component provided a map-based metadata search function and allowed contributors to enter geographic location information about their data and projects in metadata records using a map-based data entry tool. This tool displays GIS layers and a digital gazetteer to generate place name keywords and bounding coordinates.
