-
- CARIS is comprised of 30 software modules that can be grouped in three
- categories: data collection and presentation, topological creation, and
- database analysis. Data collection and presentation handles the capturing of
- data from digitizers, stereoplotters, or exchange reformats from other similar
- systems, automated editing function like templates generation contour
- generation and eventual symbolization and plotting of data. This category also
- contains some specialized software, such as digital elevation models and data
- generalization techniques
-
- Topological creation is designed to take digital cartographic data and enhance
- its intelligence based on mathematical relationships established when topology
- is constructed. This intelligence cannot be handled effectively with textual
- databases. However, CARIS can be linked to a RDBMS to provide textual
- support
-
- Database analysis allows the user to query the database based on textual
- questions (SQL) and the topological relationships established in the graphics.
- The size of the database can be very large which allows users to take advantage
- of distributed processing and file serving techniques
-
- CARIS' uniqueness lies in its ability to handle 3-D data over mid-size and
- large databases. CARIS is used in municipal, forestry, environment agriculture,
- hydrography, and similar other applications.
