SPLAT: Spatial Planning and Analysis Tool

NOS/Special Projects

The Spatial Planning and Analysis Tool (SPLAT) directly addresses data acquisition problems for coastal management issues with a geo-spatial dimension. It seeks to capitalize on several rapidly evolving areas of web technology to build a tool to allow people to work remotely with state and local scientists and managers to evaluate and collect site-specific information on a range of coastal resource management issues. Splat is based on an internet delivered ArcIMS map service with several enhancements to make the software more interactive. One enhancement to the ability of participants to send a map submission over the internet and have that layer automatically available to other users. Other enhancements include the ability to do geoprocessing (e.g., dissolve, union, intersect) over the internet.
