3. Graphic Correlation Database PGAP How? Why?

4. 3-tier architecture: Front - user interface (computer terminal, user-friendly search terms and tools) Back - databases (schema, ontology coding - age, geography, content) Middleware - translates user-selected parameters for database searches - keeps track of user selections (workflow), so a modified search doesn’t mean “starting over” - routes user requests to different software components (e.g. data query, spatial data conversion), bringing results from multiple databases and tools together on one screen How?
