Abstract
Soil Data Viewer: Implementing an N-tier Enterprise GIS Web ApplicationTrack: Geography Network
Author(s): Steven Ekblad, Eric Strand, Terry L. Aho
The Web Soil Data Viewer is a proof-of-concept Internet application showcasing the use of current hardware and software technologies to produce custom soil maps from real-time interpretation of soil data attributes. Complete USDA – NRCS SSURGO soils data sets, both spatial and tabular, were integrated into a natural resource data warehouse. The Web Soil Data Viewer utilizes Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Internet Information Server implemented on a Compaq Proliant four-server rack system with 1.2 terabyte SAN Storage Works disk storage. Esri's ArcSDE and ArcIMS software provided geospatial data management and GIS processing.
