1 The Cybercartographic Atlas of Antarctica Contribution from Wuhan University, China Dongcheng, E., Nengcheng, C.

2 Presentation Overview Proposed Elements of the Atlas Technical Approach

3 Proposed Elements of the Atlas

4 Primary Elements Functionality Content

5 Functionality 4 Key Functional Modules Atlas Browsing Display and Simulation Query Analysis

6 Atlas Browsing Catalogue Sheet map browser Switching between different maps

7 Display and Simulation Manipulation of display parameters Interactive legends Animation 3D Display

8 Query Bi-directional query Keyword and Expression Query Fuzzy query

9 Analysis Perimeter and Area Calculation Volumetric Calculation Thematic Analysis

10 Content Geo-spatial Data Multi-media material Subject areas

11 Geo-spatial Data Vector maps Raster data including satellite imagery Attribute data Large database 90 GB – Physical, geological, meteorological 40 GB - Geodetic Control, GPS, Metadata

12 Data Structure Internet GIS of Antarctica Meta data Home data Attribute data Vector data Image data Scientific research Groundwork surveying and mapping Hydrographic data Elevation data

13 Home Page Themes Scientific research Groundwork surveying and mapping Stations information Online help

14 Data Processing Conversion to a standard geographic coordinate system possible and may be required Standard elements of spatial data accuracy are being considered i.e. positional, logical consistency etc. Data revision strategy being developed

15 Methods of Data Representation Imagery Dynamic maps – time series analysis i.e snowline variation over time 3D map browsing – zooming, panning, rotating. 3D terrain fly through/animation

16 Different Rendering Styles for Same Space

17 Sample of On-Line Representation of Antarctic Data

18 Multimedia Content Text Pictures Video Audio

19 Suggested Data Layers Water system: Coastlines, lakes, rivers, unmelted ice areas, ice shelf data Island maps: Boundaries, buildings Water sytems + Islands = base framework Elevation data Geodetic control stations Placenames

20 Suggested Subject Areas for Investigation Seabirds Vegetation such as Lichen or Moss The Impact of Human Activity in the Antarctic Ecosystem

21 Technical Approach

22 Software GEOSTAR GIS Extensive functionality Based on an approach that uses the latest object-oriented methods

23 GeoStar GIS Software developed by Wuhan University On-line functions include: Vivid virtual 3D relief flying Making Color relief map Data representation using various media Display and cruise based on vector and raster map, Defining communication net and the best path query Attribute query Display, cruise and zoom of alterable scale vector and raster maps Linkages of hot words, multimedia information and map Navigation function by connecting with GPS.

24 Technical Architecture Client/Server based on Intranet Intranet &Intranet Browser/Server based on Internet Client side: Html viewer Applet Viewer GIS Application Server: Register Service Catalog Service Projection Service Map Service Feature Service Analysis Service Image Service DEM Service 3D Service Data Side File RDBMS ORDBMS ODBMS Spatial data management engine and interface (API) Map scanning vectorizing Digital pho- togram Image processing DEM and application Mapping Spatial query Spatial analysis

25 Programming Approach Server side applications programmed using JAVA 2 Multi-platform (Microsoft, UNIX)
