Hi: Several of my colleagues are creating a geographic thesaurus with GIS and other mapping features. I thought they might be interested in John's presentation from Melbourne, "Ke EMu Spacial Technologies."
Upon seeing this information, the reply I received was "One thing I thought was particularly interesting was their [EMu's, I assume] ability to show data from several different institutions in the same map. Do you have more information on how that is handled?"
I was wondering if anyone could assist me in answering that question.
thanks,
Lisa |

Hi Lisa,
KE Software has a Portal system that links other collections together. The system uses common protocols to talk to other EMu systems and/or non-EMu systems. The collective data may be interchanged as XML or other common formats, viewed or plotted on a map. The system can be configured to enable a user to drill down from the map into a specific record. the map uses standard layers (often referred to as 'shape' files as they have a .shp extension) which can be obtained from various organizations (sometimes free and sometimes at a cost). Examples of these layers are road, rivers, political boundaries,, etc.
I can provide you with some details and sites to look at if you would like them.
Regards,
Alan Brooks
