Tools developed include Map Rooms which are designed for rapid access to needed information for particular user groups, analysis tools to support training in impacts of climate on health, tools to merge standard climate products with GIS information such as boundaries of political entities used to geolocate health and socio-economic data, and simplified access/transformation of large datasets only available as collections of large numbers of files or service points elsewhere. a metadata framework that uses semantic technologies to transform metadata from a variety of sources into a variety of standards.
