INDUSTRY PARTNER

ESRI

Participation – ESRI has been a GEON partner since the start of the project. There are some similarities in concepts embodied in ESRI’s Geography Newtork (www.geographynetwork.com) and ArcWeb services (http://www.esri.com/software/arcwebservices/), and some of the goals of the GEON portal. Thus, there is natural synergy between these efforts. More specifically, ESRI will make available data sets of interest to GEON, from the Geography Network, via a GEON node at ESRI, Redlands. Authenticated GEON users will be able to access this content as well as all the ArcWeb services. ESRI is also collaborating with GEON/SDSC on ontology-based technologies for data registration and search. Furthermore, we are working towards developing a link from the GEON portal so that scientists who generate results in GEON can easily publish their data and results in the Geography Network and/or using ArcWeb services.
