GeoWeb: Here, There, and Everywhere
MIT GeoWeb, a new interface to the MIT Geodata Repository, enables users to access Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, once accessible only in ArcGIS, through a standard web browser.
The web interface lets users search, view, and download GIS data and metadata from the MIT Geodata Repository, an international collection of GIS data maintained by MIT GIS Services, which is jointly sponsored by the MIT Libraries, IS&T, and the Office of Educational Innovation and Technology. Users will find data in the MIT system not freely available on the Web or in Google Earth, and can download, manipulate, and analyze data in whatever system they choose. MIT certificates are required for access. To learn more and see a video tutorial, go to the GeoWeb web site.
