5. Project Overview
Create a Prototype Framework for Web-based GIServices in Environmental Monitoring.
Explore different Internet technologies.
Integrate/Customize different software and programs together.
Case Study Areas: Mission Trail Regional Park (MTRP) with ADAR and IKONOS images.

6. Data Warehouse
Use ArcCatalog to Create Metadata in XML for ADAR and IKONOS images.

7. Data Warehouse
Create two version of metadata: FDGC Standard and Simple version (with the most essential elements).
Use HTTP to allow users to download images.

8. Interative Internet Mapping
Apply ESRI’s ArcIMS software package to create a Internet Map Server on Microsoft Window 2000 Server with IIS 5.0.

9. Interative Internet Mapping
Use JavaScript to create dynamic display of remote sensing images with different map layers.

10. On-line Analytical Tools
Java Applets (Java Advanced Imaging API and Java 2D API)
JavaScript (dynamic Web display, communicating with Internet Map Servers)
Existing Software (Panoramic Viewer).

14. Key Technologies Java Programming.
XML (Extensible Markup Language) for metadata and communication with Internet Map Servers (ArcIMS – ArcXML).
Internet Map Server (ESRI’s ArcIMS, AutoDesk’s MapGuide, INTEGRAPH’s GeoMedia Web Map, SmallWorld’s Internet Application Servers, etc.)
