Abstract
U.S. Army WSMR Implements Geospatial Data Management System Using ArcIMSTrack: Defense and Intelligence
Author(s): Brenda Parton
The White Sands Missile Range Environment and Safety Directorate (WS-ES) is developing a hybrid system using Esri tools (including ArcIMS) and Microsoft Site Server to index and access the Directorate's electronic information. The White Sands Environmental and Safety Data Management System (ESDMS) includes Site Server components, which automatically "crawl" shared directories, classifying shared files according to the Tri-Services Spatial Data Standards (SDS) and the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata. Current ArcInfo coverages and ArcView shape-files are being converted to ArcSDE database format and will be indexed by the Site Server engine. The entire data set will be made available to authorized users via a ColdFusion application interfacing to ArcIMS, which handles the user interface for Web display of spatial and nonspatial information. The project has presented several unique challenges and promises to radically change the way WS-ES users view their information storage facilities. The paper will describe the design and implementation of the various subsystems and specifics of the ArcIMS interface development project.
