Spatial Content Management
EarthWhere is the most trusted name in geospatial content management. Over 40 federal and civilian organizations rely on EarthWhere to catalog, provision, and disseminate their geospatial data. Its easy-to-use interface allows professional imagery analysts to perform complex tasks yet simple enough for the everyday user to get the information they need, when they need it.
EarthWhere eliminates the traditional boundaries between you and your data by automating the process of cataloging and provisioning geospatial data.
- Providing immediate access to spatial datasets from your data archives
- Allowing you to create custom data products specific to your needs
- Helping you organize and manage your spatial data holdings
- Collaborate and share geospatial products
Intuitive Work Flow
Using a standard Web browser, end-users can provision data from their spatial archive directly to their desktop. EarthWhere provisioning is an intuitive three-step process (search, define and generate) that delivers custom spatial datasets to the user based on their specific requirements.
Powerful Cataloging Tools
EarthWhere makes it easy to catalog your data. With a few simple clicks, EarthWhere allows you to create custom ingest tasks used to search for geospatial data on your NAS, SAN, or local file system. Metadata is automatically indexed and cataloged into a geospatial database without altering or transforming the source data. You can create file watchers to monitor specific directories or you can schedule ingest tasks to crawl through directories at specific intervals.
ArcGIS Integration
Raster Connect for ArcGIS allows users to connect to EarthWhere servers and provision imagery directly in ArcMap. With this extension, users can search for imagery cataloged in EarthWhere and perform server-side processing of the data. Output products can be accessed directly in ArcMap.
SOA Architecture
Implementing industry-standard technologies such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) provides benefits and value by increasing agility and asset reuse and reducing integration expenses and the Government's exposure to risk. EarthWhere's architecture adheres to the principles of SOA by providing modularity, compliance to standards, reusable web service components, and interoperability. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is the framework we use for SOA. It provides transparency to the services to be glued together via a standard messaging engine. EarthWhere also provides a set of web APIs. Consumers use the web API as a mechanism to integrate EarthWhere with 3rd party applications such as ESRI ArcGIS and Google Earth.
