Metadatabase integration of software components

• Putting it all together with a search engine
  
  
• Other GMS software components:
  • ARCPLOT - on-line coverage plotting utility
                      - upload E00 file, import to coverage, plot coverage to CGM, EPS etc.
                        for download and viewing
  • GEOBOT - a Web robot that seeks out geospatial data
                    - in March, 98 issue of GIS World
                    - scans a site domain HTML page by HTML page for links to geospatial
                      data looking at their file extensions
                    - at the end of a run there would be a text file of URL addresses
                      indicating where the robot has been and an HTML page of geospatial
                      data links indicating what the robot has picked up along the way
  
  
• Search Engine Page and DEMO
  
  
• Future stuff to do:
  • on-line queries on any metadatabase table/column
  • distributed metadatabase queries via HTTP
  • towards a usable on-line GIS
