Abstract
 Integrating OGC Catalog Search and Searched OGC Layers into ArcIMS HTML Viewer Track: Application Development Author(s): Onkar Chandel, Donna Roy In the role of fulfilling its mission of bringing biological information to the Internet, USGS-NBII has developed dozens of ArcIMS HTML Viewer-based applications targeting various biological issues or concerns. The focus of NBII's interoperability framework is to provide users of each of these individual issues or concerns ArcIMS software-based applications with the capability to discover and visualize additional biological content from within that application. By extending the current and new ArcIMS applications to search and consume services from OGC Catalogs, NBII provides a richer user experience and exposure to its wide array of resources to users in the tools they currently use to perform their work. The NBII created enhanced HTML-Viewer templates allowing for new development or modifications to existing systems. These templates give the NBII nodes and partners a quick start in creating/modifying HTML Viewer site(s) for searching any OGC Catalog and consuming searched OGC Layers.
