A hypermedia GIS: The Massachusetts turnpike study

Ervin, Stephen M.

AbstractThis article describes an information system developed at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in support of a landscape analysis, planning and design project concerned with the Massachusetts Turnpike. This system includes both vector and raster GIS database and analysis software; a video disk containing some 6000 sequential images of the study area; image processing software for producing and editing color bit-maps and producing hard-copy; hyper-media database management and exploration software; and spreadsheet software for statistical analysis and data visualization. The system is selfcontained on a Macintosh IIcx workstation, using commercial software, and linked through a local-area network to other computers for access to a larger database, more complex GIS analysis, and other services such as CAD software.
