Meeting - November 8, 2001 - Web Mapping
Andy Garrigus, P.E., Technical Manager at E-Terra in Anchorage demonstrated key technologies currently available to distribute and display detailed mapping and technical drawing and database information integrated together using a web browser. Many organizations generate and collect large amounts of technical information. The value of this information or data is measured by their ability to share it with other departments, organizations, field crews (Point of Work) or the general public. Andy covered technologies and several sample applications that make this level of communication possible with vector, raster, and database information.
