Google Earth is a popular and widely used geographical browser. It is a standalone application that enables spatial data from a variety of sources to be displayed, explored and visually compared. Google Earth has the following important characteristics:
• Free
• Easy-to-use and intuitive user interface. Data are displayed on an interactive globe that can be rotated and zoomed to visually explore data in different regions of the world and at different spatial resolutions.

Touch screens are “cool”. Fancy color graphics, slick looking button layouts and elaborate menu structures are multiplying everywhere you look. Fancy doesn’t mean good. Remember the key reason your customers are paying you for a professional installation:

For example, runlevel 3 is configured in mainstream distributions such as Red Hat, Fedora Core and SuSE to provide full multi-user capabilities with networking and a text-based interface. Runlevel 5 is the same as runlevel 3, but with an additional step of loading a graphical user interface for the user. Many servers are configured to boot into runlevel 3 as part of their normal operation, since they don’t need a GUI to do their job.

Modern Geographical Information Systems (GIS) [1] provide a service-oriented architecture for interacting with geographical data sets and related maps. Web-based GIS systems are architected around the same principles as more general Web service systems based on SOAP [2], WSDL [3], and REST. Mirroring the World Wide Web Consortium and OASIS Web service standards-making bodies, the Open Geospatial Consortium [5] defines open standards for messages, XML data formats, and access protocols that are specific to the GIS community. In addition to OGC-based services, there are many companies (such as ESRI and AutoDesk) that provide proprietary, commercial solutions. Services from these various providers are not normally interoperable.

With the rise of model-driven development, model repositories are intended to facilitate research in model engineering and consequently in domain-specific modeling. Model repositories are central places where all kinds of modeling artifacts (e.g., meta-metamodels, metamodels, models, and possibly transformation models) are stored and coordinated. They can serve as a platform for making available the specification of metamodels to others (typically necessary for domain-specific modeling languages) and for exchanging models, as well as a resource for teaching/learning materials.

GraphOn’s GO-Global software gives the Windows Server operating system the capability to serve 32-bit Windows® based applications to client desktops, terminals and web-browsers running on PC and non-PC desktops. The GO-Global Server environment is, by definition, a thin-client, 100 percent server-centric architecture. Because the GO-Global clients will be available for many different desktop platforms (Linux, Macintosh, and others), the GO-Global Server provides access to 32-bit Windows-based applications from virtually any desktop. The GO-Global Server allows you to roll out 32-bit Windows-based applications to a heterogeneous set of desktops while transitioning to a pure 32-bit desktop environment.
