OpenMap Testbed: Beyond Clearinghouse   
HTML      presentationPowerPoint 97      Format  (175KB)
      To encourage public access and usage of available on-line digital      vector and raster data, the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee is      working with the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) to implement the OpenMap(tm)      testbed environment on the Internet.  This operational testbed      demonstrates a consolidated data discovery and rendering service that      communicates with data in multiple formats and projections from multiple      sources and computing platforms, and renders custom maps for both HTML      and Java-enabled clients. In this way, users unfamiliar with GIS      software and data formats may visualise large, heterogeneous, online      spatial data without data-specific or vendor-specific software      solutions.
