WebRIT: An EPA Enterprise Tool for Web-Based Locational Data Improvement Track: Water Resources Author(s): James Rineer, James Sinnott, Michael Plastino, Anne Marie Miller RTI, under contract with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has developed a combined ArcIMS and Oracle Spatial application called the Web-Based Reach Indexing Tool (WebRIT). WebRIT is used to create, validate, and update National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) reach indexes, latitude/longitude coordinates, and other locational data related to EPA and other agencies' environmental program data. This paper will describe the WebRIT's integrated use of ArcIMS, ArcSDE, Oracle Spatial, and Oracle in the EPA's environment to provide enterprise tools that cross program databases and provide a common framework for general locational data improvements with a Web-based mapping interface. Two specific components that will be discussed include a database driven interface that provides custom tools, layers, and map extents based on database stored user preferences and development of a generic zoom by geography tool that is also database driven.
