ABSTRACT:
A computer system that creates a metadata file having records connected to geographic locations on a map. The system also stores data relating to geographic locations into the metadata file. A user of the system can then select a geographic location from the map, which causes the system to present a list of all data available for that location. From the list, the user selects data to be processed in some manner, and the system launches software to perform the processing on the data for the user. In addition, the system converts the data into a common data exchange format, so that the data can be processed using any program that can access the data exchange format. The system provides conversion software to convert to and from the data exchange format, for each type of software that is used by the system for processing data.
