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
