Development of the search interface system for earth environmental data based on contents, space, and time information

摘要

Recently as the interest to the earth environment increases, research on the Digital Earth is getting much more popular which tries to interpret all kinds of earth environmental data such as remote sensing data. However, still many problems are remaining concerning user interface system, such as the method of searching is not based on the style of usage. In this paper, we are developing new interface system based on the Earth Environmental Database system storing various kind of data, which we are maintaining now. This system enables users to search data based on 3 major information - contents, space, and time - switching each other easily.
