Welcome to the
Forest Science Laboratory
Gopher
This gopher is maintained by the Forest Science Laboratory of Oregon
State
University, Corvallis, Oregon. Created 1 March 1993, the primary
purpose
is to allow users to find GIS (Geographic Information System) files
among
our rather extensive collection of geographic data.
The gopher operates solely as an index. This means that you will
not be
able to retrieve GIS files directly through the gopher system.
However, if
you wish to browse the database or you are interested in finding
particular
GIS data, this is the best place to start.
If you are interested in obtaining GIS data, we recommend that you
first
use the gopher to identify the particular files that you want. Once
you
have identified the files, please fill out our request form (if you
do not have
accounts on fsl machines) and email it to:
[log in to unmask]
When the available data are ready for transfer, you will receive a
confirmation
of the name of your file and the date it can be accessed in an
anonymous ftp
area for downloading. We anticipate data being available within 1 -
2 working
days of your request, although we may give priority to financial
benefactors.

GISnet BBS
This is a PC Bulletin Board System >>best in the world<<
dedicated to
GIS, digital cartography, desktop mapping, remote sensing
interests
>>check it out now<<. Fast-breaking news and new files on our
favorite subjects can be found here as they become available.
Mapping software, data trasnlation, image processing, world-wide
databases, 3D color GIF maps and landsat photos, daily weather
maps
and satellite photos, etc >>everything you'll ever really need<<.
Files for DOS, Mac and unix os's are available here. These
goodies
are drawn from several sources (not *just* Internet), and you
won't
find anything like it anywhere else. >>Trust me<<
To reach GISnet, fire up your modem and telecommications
software,
and dial (303) 447-0927. Set your protocol to 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and you can connect at speeds up to 9600 baud
(V.32), The system is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Some files are free, but for the "real good stuff" there is a
small
fee for full access >>sign up anyway, you'll love it<<
And the BBS is just the tip of the iceberg. We sell data and
mapping
software too. USGS DEM, DLG, TIGER, World coastlines and cities,
US Census, satellite images, etc. GRASS (for the Silicon
Graphics
box) sales, support and training is here too. (but, ahem...
note
that GRASS support is for customers only!) We have a service
group
that can do custom maps of anywhere on earth, (and a few places
elsewhere), >>they can do anything<< 2D, 3D, or 4D (video
animations
through time or space). Output can be from GIF bitmap to
full-color,
E-size and bigger posters.

About the PARC Map Viewer
The PARC Web Map Viewer is yet an experiment in providing dynamic
information retrieval via generic protocols such as World Wide Web
(W3) and clients like NCSA Mosaic. The Map Viewer is an HTTP
server
that accepts requests for map renderings and returns an HTML
document
including an inlined GIF image of the requested map.
Links embedded in the HTML document are used as controls to change
the map rendering (e.g. pan, zoom, level of detail). The HTML
hypermedia document format and the HTTP protocol are in effect
used as
a generic user interface toolkit to provide not only document
retrieval but
a custom user interface. This interface does not yet take
advantage of the
Mosaic extensions for fill-in-the-blank forms, however it now uses
the
ISMAP extensions for detecting mouse selections within an image.
Although there exists a faster and easier to use X Windows
mapbrowser
interface for viewing the same data, there are advantages of
having a
World-Wide Web interface:
The W3 interface is accessible to a broader user community than
the Unix-based X tool.
The W3 server can be used to include map images as part of
other
hypermedia documents.
Comparing the two interfaces informs us how to improve generic
information retrieval systems like W3.
The Map Viewer user interface was recently improved (November
1993),
and it will likely change as I experiment with it. Please send
