Implementation of Geospatial Query and Display Technology for Collection Management  Paper Text

Automated collection management systems require a geospatial query, analysis, and display capability to reach optimized solutions. Raster data sets such as topography and land cover data must be flexibly integrated with vector data sets such as roads and hydrography. In addition, the system must accommodate moving objects such as aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles. Remote sensing and GIS technologies provide the tools for integrating these data types in a common geospatial framework. ArcView, ArcInfo, and ERDAS were used to demonstrate the application of this capability to collection management. Scripts, models, and AMLs were developed linking the three packages to database and visualization software.
