The Carbon Project, the world leader in Open-Geospatial .NET technology, has released a gallery of free Geospatial Session Files (GSFs) with location content for Queensland, Australia, a region just impacted by Cyclone Larry, a Category 5 storm packing 180 mph winds.
“To many people in North America and other parts of the world, Queensland is quite an unfamiliar place, perhaps best known as a "jump-off" point for the Great Barrier Reef. To help folks become more familiar with this region that is now struggling to recover from Cyclone Larry, The Carbon Project is pleased to provide a gallery of Geospatial Session Files (GSFs) for Queensland, Australia,” said Jeff Harrison, President and CEO of The Carbon Project. “We hope that they'll help people get more familiar with the geography of Queensland and that they might help our friends in Australia in some small way.”
The location-based content for these session files was provided by the Spatial Interoperability Demonstration Project (SIDP), GlobeXplorer, CubeWerx and other sources. The content was pulled together in the last few hours using online OpenGIS® map servers accessing data from a variety of Australian and U.S. sources.
The GSFs are available online from The Carbon Project and accessible through the free Gaia geospatial web browser available at www.TheCarbonPortal.net. Gaia was developed with CarbonTools, an API for bringing location-based content into Microsoft .NET.
