Abstract
Multi-Vendor Web Mapping System
Track: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): Daniel Specht, Ralph Scheid
A government/industry team integrated and deployed a system that successfully demonstrated OGC interoperability between diverse ArcIMS, CubeWerx, and Intergraph Web Mapping System servers. The system allowed browser-based clients to search all servers' metadata via a single query and display maps whose features reside on all servers and their attributes. Interoperability works because the servers' Web Map Services are able to respond to standard HTTP requests, and any server responding to these requests can register its metadata. The Corps and Louisiana State University served Mississippi River, Corps, and Louisiana data; other servers provided USGS, NASA, and NIMA data.
