Team Members • Jonathan Topping (Team Leader) • John Tarr • Jody Hurst
GIS Overhaul • Web based design • Addition of mapping functionality • Cleaner interface
Client – Server Model • New web design allows for a true client – server environment • One server can service many clients • Accessible from any networked campus computer • No OS requirement, as HTML is platform independent
Web server design • Central program logic / maintenance location • Will use HTML and a web scripting language for GUI interface • Map interface will use a Java applet • Easier to maintain than QT
Mapping • ALOV application provides mapping functionality (www.alov.org) • ALOV is a “free, portable Java applet” that features zooming and panning upon a map • ALOV utilizes ESRI files which are derived from the Census Bureau’s TIGER files • ESRI files provide vector mapping and layers of data
Cleaner Interface • Redesigned GUI based on user feedback • More dynamic and easily navigated by any user
