GeoMedia® WebMap

GeoMedia WebMap, Intergraph's Web - based map visualization and analysis tool, provides real-time links to geospatial data warehouses. Its revolutionary technology maximizes the value of geographic information by publishing it on the Web - providing employees, customers, and the public fast and easy access to geospatial data. GeoMedia WebMap enables quering a database and viewing information described in a map. User can click on a map feature or area and see selected database information about that particular map feature - he can access and analyze data anywhere, anytime.

Key features

GeoMedia WebMap, the first Web-based map visualization and analysis software tool ever offered, has altered the evolution of GIS by turning any PC into a mapping portal and making every user a geographic information expert. This development has enhanced the value of GIS many times over.

The idea behind Web-based GIS is straightforward - provide real-time access to geospatial databases online and equip users with GIS query, analysis, and visualization tools so they can build maps, extract meaningful information, and pass updates back to the database. Any user equipped with a standard Web browser can accomplish these tasks and more with no GIS training.

Interoperability
The characteristic that differentiates GeoMedia WebMap most significantly from other competing packages. Interoperability allows the site to be implemented in such a way that client users may access data in a variety of formats from multiple databases without conversion, thus the data always remains in its native format. Intergraph accomplished this feat by inventing Geographic Data Objects (GDO) technology and building a separate GDO server for each of the popular GIS and CAD packages - to be included in every GeoMedia product.
Data format openness is the primary selling point for many large utilities companies and government agencies that are composed of multiple departments, each maintaining a separate GIS. A CEO or city administrator using a GeoMedia WebMap site can tap into each system, retrieve and combine disparate data, and perform independent analysis to arrive at unique conclusions.

GeoMedia WebMap can access and view data in the following native formats without conversion or translation:

Oracle9i™
Microsoft® SQL Server
Microsoft Access
MGE
MGE Segment Manager
MGE GeoData Manager
FRAMME™
ArcInfo ArcView Shape files
MapInfo
AutoCAD
MicroStation® CAD
ODBC-compliant
OGC GML
OGC WFS

Furthermore, Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure (SG&I) is committed to open systems solutions and data interoperability as a founding and principal member of the Open Geospatial Consortium Inc. (OGC). Intergraph is active in ongoing OGC initiatives for industry standards and is a visible force in spearheading interoperability in the GIS and IT marketplace. Recent OGC projects and testbeds to define Web mapping standards are opening up an entirely new level of interoperability, and Intergraph is a key contributor. With GeoMedia WebMap’s WMS Adapter Kit, it is easy to create an OGC Web Map Server. The efforts of Intergraph and others in the industry go beyond the boundaries of traditional GIS by using the Web to bring about unprecedented collaboration and communication between organizations and end users.
Viewing Flexibility
Early Internet GIS developers based their software solely on raster viewing capabilities, primarily because Web browsing tools already contained native raster handling functions. Intergraph, on the other hand, provided raster and vector viewing in its first GeoMedia WebMap release. After all, the typical GIS contains more than just raster maps and JPEG images.

GeoMedia WebMap supports the creation of maps sent to the client in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Scalable Vector Graphics is an XML grammar for stylable graphics, a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) graphics format specification. GeoMedia WebMap supports the output of both uncompressed and compressed (SVGZ) SVG files. It provides a mechanism for defining a cascading style sheet to extend the symbology in order to take full advantage of all the richness the SVG format supports. Furthermore, it provides the capability to perform Extensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) on the output SVG to fully customize and enhance Web application output. A scripting API is provided for enhancing client-side functionality. Scalable Vector Graphics is a modern vector format that provide the ability to create richly symbolized maps from your Web mapping site(s).
By using an Internet Explore ActiveX control, a Netscape plug-in, or a Java applet (all of which are delivered with GeoMedia WebMap), WebMap gives the capability of vector rendering and manipulation in the browser. This means that the end-user can highlight and select single elements for various purposes including viewing a tooltip describing that feature or clicking it to perform some hotspot action like seeing a report generated on the feature or viewing a video associated with the feature
Powerful Analysis Tools
GeoMedia WebMap offers more geospatial analytical capabilities than the competition. This functionality broadens the user base into nontraditional GIS user groups. Often the most popular features in desktop GIS products like GeoMedia, the analysis tools can be used by Web clients. Novice users can now perform sophisticated spatial queries that perform powerful spatial analysis overlays. The department manager can create buffer zones. Thematic maps can easily be created with the push of a button. WebMap makes it easy to provide answers to geospatial questions over the Web, previously available only to GIS specialists.

Scalability
GeoMedia WebMap was designed to be scalable so users can grow their systems without rebuilding them. Customers can link as many GIS, CAD, digital mapping, and database systems to GeoMedia WebMap as they wish. And GeoMedia WebMap can be configured to allow as many users to access the datasets as is desired, accommodating viewing commands and analysis queries from thousands of simultaneous users.

By making it possible for customers to access just about any data through the GeoMedia product suite, Intergraph enabled GeoMedia WebMap applications to get very big, very fast, both in terms of end users and information content. GeoMedia WebMap was designed and built with virtually unlimited scalability in the product so that users can grow their systems without rebuilding them. Scalability works in two ways. First, customers can link as many GIS, CAD, digital mapping, and database systems to GeoMedia WebMap as they wish. Essentially, they can add as much CPU and server hardware as they can afford in order to expand the system capacity without redoing the entire WebMap site. This greatly reduces the overall cost of enlarging a WebMap system to accommodate additional geographic data sources. On the end user side, GeoMedia WebMap can be configured to allow as many users to access the datasets as desired. The WebMap product is designed to accommodate viewing commands and analysis queries from thousands of simultaneous users. This has made WebMap the ideal product upon which to build geospatial information vending Web sites for the general public.
