  2. PGAP Graphic Correlation Database

  3. PGAP Graphic Correlation Database How? Why?

  4. How? 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

  5. THE PALEOINTEGRATION PROJECT IN GEON http://www.geongrid.org/

  6. JURASSIC ‘HOTHOUSE WORLD’ Why?

  7. JURASSIC – ANTARCTICA
