AbstractIntegrated Facilities Data System Using Web and Database Technology Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Rich Grady Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNS) is publishing facilities data on its Intranet to more than 3,000 users. Widespread access to shipyard maps, drawings, and database information has helped to streamline business processes and improve asset management. Applied Geographics, Inc. (AGI), from Boston, Massachusetts, was selected by the U.S. Navy to build this solution, known as the Integrated Facilities Data (IFD) system. AGI selected MapObjects Internet Map Server (IMS) along with general-purpose Web and database technologies to interface to legacy data including AutoCAD files, Microsoft Access, and Oracle databases. AGI is currently working with the Navy on a regional rollout strategy for IFD.
