Title
A Distributed, Multimedia Environmental Information System
Abstract
Scientific research addressing global change continues to generate large quantities of information for analysis and understanding. However, the volume, distributed nature, and diversity of this information prohibits convenient access by many potential users. This paper describes an object-oriented, distributed system consisting of an integrated collection of software tools that allows a user to query and manipulate distributed, multimedia data sets through a graphical user interface (GUI). The tool, ENFORMS (Environmental Information System), is currently populated with environmental information for use in a regional watershed analysis project.
