Dynamic Knowledgebase
Dynamic Knowledgebase Interface Dynamic Knowledgebase allows users to build and manage "atlases" of data. Once data is registered in an atlas, it is automatically and immediately available for use on the desktop (Dynamic Maps) or over the Internet (Dynamic Web Maps).

Atlases (also called "warehouses") are a logical integrated grouping of map layers, tabular data sets, related information, and metadata / descriptions. These warehouses can be easily distributed on CD so that people without access to the network can use the data.

Each atlas contains relevant "topics", which are a unique set of map layers, data sets and related information depending on the characteristics of the data, geographic extent and the subject matter.
Topics are stored in a hierarchy so that they can be related to each other in a logical way that is immediately reflected when a user launches Dynamic Maps or logs onto the web site.

Dynamic Knowledgebase handles spatial data using standard formats for vector and raster files, tabular data from several database software and Excel spreadsheets, documents in any format supported by the operative system, and metadata information on spatial and tabular data.

Dynamic Publisher Interface Dynamic Publisher allows users to take atlases and package them for distribution via CD or DVD.
When a client runs the CD/DVD, Dynamic Maps Service Packs are installed if necessary, and the atlas(es) is copied onto the user's computer and automatically imported as a "Local" warehouse into Dynamic Maps. As a result, when the user launches Dynamic Maps, the atlas(es) is immediately available.

It is a completely automated way for you to provide your clients with the atlases you produce along with the software to use them.
