East View Procures and Hosts Mexican Vector Data for University of Arizona

September 27, 2011 By Editor

East View Procures and Hosts Mexican Vector Data for University of Arizona’s Map Library and GIS Department

MINNEAPOLIS, USA – Interest in digital geospatial data has exploded in recent years. GIS coursework continues to expand as well as the formation of dedicated GIS departments at universities. However, the infrastructure to support millions of geospatial data records remains a difficulty for most institutions. The University of Arizona’s Map Library and GIS Department came to East View Cartographic (EVC) with the request to procure, structure, translate and host several gigabytes of Mexican-created geospatial vector data.

 

EVC completely succeeded in fulfilling this request and went a step further by building a convenient webapp that allows non-GIS users to also access this dataset.

 

Chris Kollen, the University of Arizona’s Data Curation Librarian and sponsor of the effort expressed, "With the geospatial web server, University of Arizona faculty and students are able to easily view and download detailed Mexico geospatial data. By providing access to the data through East View Cartographic’s geospatial web services, the University of Arizona Libraries did not need to expend hardware, software or staff resources to create their own service."

 

Kent D. Lee, EVC’s founder and CEO is proud of EVC’s achievement of making geospatial data more accessible to more academic users. "EVC is made up of geospatial professionals who are savvy using various GIS applications.  What we have done for the University of Arizona and others since then, is source born digital geospatial data and not only serve it up to savvy GIS users in their environments, but to the larger student body as well through WebApps that bring the data to life for all."
