Abstract
Converting Desktop MapObjects Applications to ArcIMS: Case Studies for Environmentally Sensitive SitesTrack: Application Development
Author(s): Joseph F Giacinto, James W Bodamer, Lonnie D Norman
Desktop GIS applications were developed with MapObjects for environmentally sensitive sites integrated tabular database query and overlay capabilities with the power of GIS. The desktop application and database required a significant amount of disk space and processing power on the client PC. In order to make the application more easily available to the user groups, to centralize the spatial and tabular database, and to provide for a lighter processing load on the client PC, the desktop application was converted entirely to a Web-based application utilizing ArcIMS and SQL Server. This study documents the problems and solutions of the application and database conversion process and advantages gained from the Web-based application.
