<title>Creating a turnkey hierarchical geospatial data warehouse</title>

Abstract

The components of a web based data warehouse capable of populating, storing, searching, previewing, and disseminating a variety of information products over a TCP/IP network can be achieved through the use of commercially available products. The ability to deploy a solution that provides a central archive as well as distributed local archives of products is desirable. This approach is necessary due to the amount of data products generated for the community as well as the generation of custom products by regional users and the subsequent creation of their own archive for such products. Users must be able to leverage a central archive as well as have the ability to create their own local archive of data. This will increase efficiency at multiple levels and provide users with a solution that satisfies both their global data access needs and local data management.
