Title: SOFTWARE TOOLS FOR GIS DATA SHARING
Accession Number: 00636510
Record Type: Component
Availability: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) 444 North Capitol Street, NW Abstract: Presents an overview of two software tools designed at LSU to improve the accessibility of GIS data in an environment containing multiple GIS hardware and software systems. An Archive Management System is described which uses existing Database Management System technology to keep track of on-line and off-line data. The system provides users with an English-like query language that is independent of the particular DMBS used to implement the data catalog. Also described is a programming language specifically tailored for writing GIS data reformatting programs. The language consists of extensions to the standard C programming language, and the Reformat Compiler translates the source code into standardized C-language reformatting programs. Both software tools are portable, extensible and GIS-independent.
